Quotes that make me think....

  • "The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it." John Stuart Mill

NaNoWriMo - Day 6 Report - WC 39,704


Hello there. It's been a few days since I have updated my blog. I've been writing quite steadily but I cannot deny that I did take two days off, the first because I am fighting the flu (as in not wanting to get it so wanted to take a day and rest) and the other because I spent a blissful 6 hours at the spa and was quite mush by the time I was done.

I've also taken it easy with the words because like most of us doing this contest I'm sure, my wrists were sore and my mind was almost empty, of story related items that is.

I needed a good mental break to allow me to recharge my writing batteries, come up with some new ideas, new twists and turns and breathe more life into my characters and story.

This 30 day thing is definitely challenging but I am loving the opportunity to revisit all these characters in my mind over and over so that I can explore so many things, that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to do.

Still loving this contest and while I am getting close to the requisite 50,000 words for the contest, I am not yet one third of the way through to my own goal. Perspective can be sobering.
That said, I am still having great fun with this and I hope you are too. Keep writing!
