If you wonder, what the hell I'm talking about, check this out:
Last year I did my first NaNo - successfully! It was literally a last minute decision, the circumstances were quite differently back then: I had a fantastic plot idea and NaNo was just perfect to let the story burst out of my head straight into the challenge. If you want to read the whole journey, check these out:
01 Nov. 2010: NaNo Writing Month
08 Nov. 2010: The First Week With NaNo
14 Nov. 2010: Week Two With NaNo
22 Nov. 2010: NaNo, Lucky Number 3?
28 Nov. 2010: Week Four With NaNo
30 Nov. 2010: Official NaNo Winner
What gone is gone, let's better talk about current events: NaNo 2011. For sure, this year I did a few challenges:
16 Jan. 2011: February Journaling Challenge.
09 March 2011: 1st Anniversary. 7 Links Challenge.
28 March 2011: April ABC Challenge.
05 September 2011: I'm Back For The 7-Sins-Challenge.
...but somehow my focus was/is more on Art Journaling than writing. In addition, I even made a blogging summer break and focused totally on reading!
I already know, that I won't be able to post perfectly on every single day (like I did in our own FJC), but stay tuned, I let you know my progresses, my successes, my failures, everything interesting and my artworks (maybe *g*)!
No matter, if you join in NaNoWriMo or NaNoJouMo or nothing at all ... be creative ... be lazy ... just enjoy your time ... and I wish you a wonderful November!
xoxo Karin
P.S. Happy Halloween!
Enjoy NaNoJouMo. I think it was good experiment for you last year, because it's led you to discover your own interest and where you main focus lay. It seems pretty obvious that it's more towards art work than writing (totally opposite for me, I'm afraid) :-)) Though I shall continue with my regular journaling.
@Dolly: Thanks! And you, you enjoy your NaNoWriting ... maybe next year I need some variety and join in writing again! *g*
