Day Fourteen of NaNoWriMo and though my attempts at growing facial hair (Movember) have thankfully been a failure, the writing is more successful. Well the quantity, I will refrain from commenting on the quality at this stage. Though I have not registered this year for the event, I am participating and half way through the minimum of 50,000 words. My motivation and discipline is the knowledge that thousands of others are rising to the challenge and though writing can be a very lonely occupation it's the thought of all those people doing the same thing that keeps things progressing.
I may have an advantage over many aspiring authors though I am not talking about skill ( that could be a mute point) but during November I am not at work. I am recovering from total hip replacement surgery so have the time and mobility to restrict myself. I keep looking at my knitting but am kept to task by a little book that is close to me at all times - Stop Talking Start Doing by Shaa Wasmund. When a person is of the age where a THR is routine then time is of the essence.
