So, it's November 1 (technically it's past midnight, but that's beside the point). November also means that it's National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days (approximately 1,667 words per day).
And if you've been paying attention to the recent updates on my blog, you'll see that I'm currently working on the novel, Yellowtree, and I've become pretty passionate about it. But I've also been majorly slacking off in working on it, so I decided to just go for it this month and try to add 50,000 words onto the bugger. There may be some days I don't reach the exact daily word goal, but as long as I'm writing every day, I figure it'll get me into a good habit and prod me forward in the long and strenuous (but oh so beautiful) process of writing.
All of that to say, I will be taking a one-month hiatus from this blog to focus whole-heartedly on my novel. If all goes well, I may share more of it with you here (the first chapter is already posted). But if I'm going succeed at this and balance it with all of my school work, I need to give some things up for the month of November, and unfortunately, the inside cardboard world is one of them.
I'll let you know how I do on December 1. Until then, peace to you. And pray for peace for me as I embark on this crazy adventure.
