She Writes Novels.

Yup, true to the address of my blog I really do write words but at the moment I am trying to rearrange the words that I do write into the form of a novel. A short novel but a novel all the same. T'is the month of November and so that can only one mean one thing.....that the heating gets turned on my house? erm no, well that is strictly true so maybe I should change it to two things. The heating gets turned on and I stupidly decide that this year I should attempt NaNoWriMo again.

As always this means stocking up on snack and the ability to whinge enough to last me a month and snuggling down writing nonsense on my laptop with the hope that it all comes together eventually. I really want to finish it again this year but there is quite a lot against me, two weekends in which it will be unlikely that I write anything as I will a)be at home and b)be in London, an essay deadline and an essay plan deadline which I am pretty sure is meant to be as long as the essay. Bad times in NaNoWriMo land.

Ooooh maybe I should do some explaining of what this word with all the capitals that I keep using is. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, that means that I have the 30 days of November in which to write a 50,000 word novel which in the beginning seems really intimidating but when broken down works out at about 1700 words a day and I think I have written longer blog entries than that on events that have happened to me in an afternoon so hopefully not impossible. I actually proved last year that it wasn't impossible when I completed it and even went over the word count, the only downside is that I didn't go back and redraft and anything and its still in the state in which I left it. I hope this year though that my writing is slightly more imaginative, its based on celebrities and fairy tales. Things I like.



Right what am I doing here? I should be writing a novel or an essay or even just getting some sleep.

Novels and Made up Words,
