Preparing for NaNoWriMo

I do NaNoWriMo every year, and this year I have my story idea already picked out. I can't start writing until 12:01am on November 1, but I don't want to worry about forgetting any of my ideas, so I dedicated a notebook to keeping track of them:

NaNoThon

I'm participating in Camp NaNoWriMo (where I try to write 50,000 words of a novel in one month, from April 1 to 30)! Today, they held a "NaNoThon" to give everyone an opportunity to boost their word counts. Even though I'm ahead, I wanted to give it a shot to see how well I could do.

I had 21,508 words at the end of yesterday... After today, I have:

30,143!

So it was a quiet day of going to work and a flurry of typing, but Clyde was very helpful when  I got stuck on a plot point!

NaPoWriMo

I am participating in NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month), which means I'm writing a poem every day! I'm posting them on my grammar blog, Grammar Amateur all month!

For my day 5 poem (today) I wrote a freestyle poem in rhyming couplets about Clyde! Check it out HERE.
