It's funny how doing Nanowrimo impacts my life. It lead me to meet new people. It lead me to find a local used bookstore with a writer friendly owner. While there, I got new books on crafts at her half off sale for November on non-fiction. And that led me to get back into fashion illustration.
The only thing I haven't been doing all that well on is writing the novel for Nanowrimo! I think my novel is just over 5,000 words right now and my poetry Nano just passed 5,000 words. So about 10,000 in all. Except on the timeline I think I'm supposed to be around 15,000 words on each Nano account.
I also knitted a bunny from another book I got at the used bookstore called the Knitted Odd-Bod Bunch.

In a way writing 50,000 words of poetry is more fun and easier for me than the novel. That's because it doesn't have a plot. I can jump from a silly rhyming poem to a long wordy freestyle verse and no one cares. It doesn't have to have a linear timeline. I can hop all over the place. The novel on the other hand, isn't cooperating at all. I like to think of it as Firefly meets the Wild Wild West (the old TV series, Not the movie). It's going to be a good story if I can ever get it together.
After I'd already started two Nano projects I ran across a guy that is blogging for his 50,000 word nano. I wish I'd thought of that since I blog every day anyway. But there is no way I'm doing 3 Nanowrimo projects. Two is insane enough.
