#amwriting

I'm scared. Not because it's a dark and scary night but because of the chatter, the sound of pencils sharpening, clicking of the keys, tapping at the touchscreen and rustling of the pages. Why? National Novel Writing Month also known as nanowrimo. They are writing with some achieving the goal of writing a first draft.

I'm jealous. Not because I don't have ideas to write but because I find myself distracted such as playing computer games and watching TV (2 Broke Girls are back and I enjoyed that new episode) when I should put aside some writing time and finish my novel that I started when...last year. Hmm. I guess my personal goal is to finish that novel and avoid distrac... (I saw some posters for some upcoming movies, piqued) ...tions.

By the way, did you see my cakes especially my Halloween masterpieces, go to Twitter.com/SuzzetteDawes and check out my pictures.

I'm thickheaded. Yes, I am! It is really hard to be disciplined: setting up my own timetable to efficiently use my time. I really just want someone to hold my hand and help me enlist in one of these groups so we can motivate each other and mostly deter me from distractions.

But in the meantime, I'm giving myself a kick that I will write and my goal, in two weeks November 15th, is to have a substantial part done and share with you a portion.  And if I don't, I'll probably write a post on my latest distraction. Until then, I #amwriting.
