Another Na-No-Wri-Mo

So another Halloween has passed. I’ve posted a couple of pictures for you.

Now I’m into Na-No-Wri-Mo and am counting down my 50, 000 words for November. Since I have never won this goal, I am determined to finish my Steampunk novel I have been working off and on for the past few years. Hopefully this year it will get finished! Wish me luck for no distractions and for will power to get the job done! I need it!

I must say, I have planned a little bit better than past years, My Preptober wasn’t as intense as it could have been, but I did make a more user-friendly calendar that is targeting my hours available more positively than in past years. With two big birthday parties to celebrate and my first Society of Children’s Book Writer’s and Illustrator’s (SCBWI) conference to attend all day next Sunday, on top of work and home duties, it will be an intense month. I have already knocked off the list of events, my Ten Penners meeting yesterday (which we discussed and worked on Na-No-Wri-Mo), and my daughter’s uni exhibit that was very interesting and entertaining last Friday night. One proud mummy here.

I’m very excited to be attending the SCBWI conference next week. I booked a spot for a manuscript appraisal and at the moment I’m very interested in the feedback. However, next week, I will probably have a plethora of emotional states running through me in anticipation! We shall see.

Have a great week everyone! – Marion
