For those of us above the 49th parallel, November generally means the end of fall and beginning of winter (snow and freezing temps). For me it means lost mittens and hats, melt downs over outerwear (see previous year –> here) and a much larger heating bill. It’s painful.
Last year I took the pain one step further and I did the NaBloPoMo requiring me to write a blog post each day in the month of November or admit defeat (no defeat admitting permitted here). To spice life up a little, I started my medication (eight injections a week) and decided to drive to California, take part in the Disney machine and drive home again all in 10 days.
No biggy! (Bwahahahaha). I am not doing it again though, I’ve been there and done that.
So this year I decided to step it up a notch, I am doing NaNoWriMo instead and I am writing a novel. The only rules, write a 50000+ word novel in November.
Word count so far: 10316 of 50000 –> so far, so good.
Any ideas for blog posts in November? Any questions for me?

a novel really!??! I think I want to be your agent ;)
What’s the novel about? Can we get a plot line? I briefly thought about doing that this year too but I couldn’t figure out what to write on.

November idea -Fatest Turkey Competition
People can send in pics of the turkeys they are preparing and maybe even send in pics of friends they don’t like.
Dude, anyone who participates in this has my vote. I’m barely able to crank out two blog posts a week!

Every day is raining in Poland..;( Best regards MommyKnows
I know the feeling about the rain as every day so far it’s rained here.
However I do love November it’s the calm before the storm of Christmas.
Good Luck with your novel.
