Will you be participating in NaNoWriMo this year? If so, have you already started prepping for it, or are you waiting until November 1st to dive in?
Have you ever participated with either NaNoWriMo or NaPoWriMo in the past? If so, did you enjoy the process or was it not your cup of preferred hot beverage?
I don’t write in the NaNoWriMo, mostly because I don’t really know what it is all about. Someone in my writing group does it every year, and as far as I know it is where you write a novel in a month. Saying that I could have got it wrong.
It isn’t something I have thought of doing either. If there is a day when I am not sure of what to write, I will get annoyed with myself. Even when I take part in the word prompts, I am never sure whether my writing is good enough.
However, I do write on my blog every day (apart from when I am on holiday, or away for some reason). I never thought I could write short stories, but depending on the prompt word, they seem to appear out of nowhere. If only every day could be like that.
My favourite theme is writing dystopian type texts, family, and murder mystery.
Good luck to all those writers, who are taking part.
I get how difficult writing to a deadline must be.
Writing a novel in a month! For me, it would be impossible. But I can’t think of a better practice that training yourself to write every day as you do, Diana, in preparation to writing a novel.

I tend to write on my novel in the morning, and my blog in the afternoon.

Sounds like a good, working schedule. I remember reading that P.G. Wodehouse religiously set the morning hours aside for writing his novels, a stickler for routine, which you have to be in any endeavor really.

I have done it once. It was fun and exhausting. I went away for two weeks, and I wrote steadily. I did write a novel in a month but have never published it.
