Try not to have a heart attack, y’all.
MELISSA IS BACK ON THE BLOG.
All two of my remaining readers are probably choking to death.
I’ve mostly come back to say hello. And assure all two remaining readers I am not, in fact, dead. My heart is pumping along just dandy, thank you very much.
For the third year in a row, I’m participating in the illustrious NaNoWriMo “competition”. 2009 was a win, 2010 was a loss, 2011 is going to be a royal word butt kicking.
Here is a brief recap for anyone who doesn’t follow my twitter feed (yes, also resurrected from the dead for NaNo):
TOTALS:
Day One: 6,387
Day Two: 9,152
Day Three: 15,564
Day Seven: 20,002 (I took a break to finish schoolwork so I didn’t, you know, fail out of my first week of these new classes…)
SO. It’s going swimmingly, and thanks to my lovely crit partner, Mrs. Liza Kane, and our ridiculous brainstorming session on Day Three, I now have a pretty decent plot, some excellent ideas, and more words in one single draft than I’ve had all year.
Time to get back in the trenches..

Good for you! That’s more than I’ve written in two months…and none of that writing was for my novel.

Hey, how did it go with NaNoWriMo?! You inspired me to give it a go as well, albeit I started late. Tough stuff, but a great experience. Am newly recovered from writing/holiday burnout and hoping to get my keester in gear to finish the story by the end of winter.
