NaNo, Writing & Captain Morgan

Ok...It's 3 AM and I've been writing since 10 AM yesterday!  I should be sleeping, but the Schnoodle is running around like a wild animal and the Captain and Diet Pepsi's have made me more awake than I was four hours ago.  The dog ate my pizza and I have the munchies with nothing to munch on. 

Now, some would say working on two manuscripts, at the same time, is insane.  I say, BRING IT ON!  I'm thriving on it.  I have the attention span of a gnat.  My mind is constantly on the next thing.  Two manuscripts allows me to bounce around and still be productive without confinement. 

Why two?  As you know, I'm working on Temporary Tattoos, but November 1st marks the beginning of NaNoWriMo.  NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month.  Participants start writing on November 1st with the goal to write 50,000 words by November 30th.  The premise is, with a deadline, you tend to write more.  Of course you're only writing a rough draft.  But it's amazing what you can accomplish within that month.  I do it every year.  This year, my NaNo novel is It All Started With A Photo Shoot (IASWAPS for short). 

As of today,  30,352 authors have registered for this years NaNo.  The count will grow to well over 100,000 by November 1st.  And then the fun begins.  Authors come from all ages and various countries.   Right now, I'm plotting and outlining IASWAPS while writing Temporary Tattoos.  Sometimes it's hard to keep both novels straight.  But it's all good.

Check out NaNoWriMo.org for more information.  I hope to see you there.  Now, I need to get back to writing.  Ciao!
