NaNo Update, Day 2: Ate all the candy, words are on paper.

It’s officially day two of National Novel Writing Month. Things that have so far occurred to me since NaNo 2018 began:
  1. 1. It is incredibly cruel to start a writing challenge on a day when I am basically swimming in leftover Halloween candy. I’m only three chapters into this book and I’ve already eaten twelve packs of Skittles and more Almond Joys than anyone should readily admit to eating.

  2. 2. For some reason, November is the month when we are all apparently supposed to accomplish something. Since yesterday the internet has challenged me to do the following in the next month: write a novel, de-clutter my house, achieve perfect mental health, and master Pilates. When did November get so ambitious?

  3. It’s a lot easier to write a novel in a month when your muse is on your side.
  4. Setting daily word count goals is more fun if you get Skittles when you meet then.
  5. I am possibly going to have to buy more Skittles.
  6. I am possibly going to have to sign up for more Zumba classes so I can eat more Skittles.
 
Happy NaNo, everyone! Hope your characters are cooperating and your settings are as beautiful on paper as they are in your head.
