Got a Life

This past summer was crazy and stressful but there were a couple of good things to come out of that chaos, too - I got a life.

Someday I might write about why I didn't have one for a long time, but for now I just want to focus on the fact that I am making changes in my life that I hope will help me as I move forward toward my goals.

As a bi-product I have a new form of busy, which is good by all accounts but is pushing my time and task management skills to their limits. I have been on the road more than I have in a long time and I am excited to be out and about and seeing new things.

But for you guys who spend a lot of time in your cars, bustling from place to place, how do you get yourselves quickly focused and into deep writing mode when those pockets of writing time arrive? Inquiring minds want to know!

Looking Ahead: National Novel Writing Month

October is just getting underway and I am already thinking about NaNoWriMo. To nano or not to nano? That is the question.

I have started NaNoWriMo a few times, got close once, but have never actually won. I have a new book I would love to work on during the November writing frenzy but, you see, I have this other book. The one that's almost done. The one that I need to get submitted. And I don't think that winning NaNoWriMo on this new book is the best way to spend my November.

Sigh.

I could always do my own version of NaNo at another time but I am not sure if that will work for me. What about you guys? Have you ever run your own Novel Writing Month outside of November because the timing wasn't great? Inquiring minds want to know!
