Why I haven't been writing on here lately:
As some of you may or may not know, I have a life list of things I want to do before I die. Since being in Korea, I've managed to cross 3 things off the list: live and work in a foreign country, go to Asia, and write a novel. Well, hopefully in 15 days I will be able to cross off that last one.
The month of November is Nanowrimo month. It's a different approach to novel writing begun by a group of ordinary people with a will to write. You have exactly 30 days in the month of November to write a 50,000 word novel (about 1,667 words a day). It is more about quantity rather than quality, but I have to admit, it makes me write. For someone like me who has an evil editor on her shoulder all the time, Nanowrimo has taught how to simply write and not think--a skill I've been attempting to master all of my life. It has been quite the cathartic experience, and I'm falling in love with writing all over again.
And so, after half a month, I have 25,120 words. 24,880 to go! I'll see you all again in December.
