Nanowrimo Starts today

On this day, Wednesday November First, I find myself staring at an empty document yet again. For once it is not a blank page of doom (which signifies yet another miserable paper writing endeavor), no, today it is a blank slate. A fresh start. It is like a blank journal you buy at the book store (even though you have at least three similarly blank journals sitting at home) because of the possibility and newness it represents.

I don't know what I'm going to write. I don't know when I'll find the time to write.

But I do know that this year I'm not accepting any excuses. Yes, I have a quiz nearly every Wed. and Fri. in Latin. Yes, I have a paper due Nov. 13th. Yes, I have a geology exam this month. Yes, I am involved with several clubs. Yes, I work 12 hours a week. Yes, I am busy.

Will this stop me? No. Why? Because I am tired of deferring my dreams until I get the current, very important assignment done, and the next and the next...

My inbox will always be full. It's not an excuse anymore.

Yes, on this first day of Nanowrimo I have joy and excitement. On the 12th day of Nanowrimo, that will no longer be true; of this I am sure.

However, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm laying down the law, telling my self what's what. I am going to write this novel. I'm not accepting any excuses. I'm going to kick butt and make it happen.

I am crying out a call to arms; pick up the pen and write!!!

I will be updating this journal every day this month, to complain, to rejoice, to share my feelings as I journey to the 50,000 word mark and I hope to see you, fellow Nanowrimoers, on the path to greatness and victory.

Are you with me????
