Day 5.
I’m getting consistently behind in my goals. I’m about 2,000 words short of being on the mark! This does NOT settle well with my perfectionistic, Type (lower case) A personality.
I’ve found some great support, though, on this journey so far.
Zaira, who happened upon my blog has already been an enthusiatic encourager! Thank you! I’ve read her NaNo excerpt-which she calls a stream of consciousness-but, I “got it”. She wrote about trying to get children who DO NOT want to wake up and go to school UP and READY for school. I don’t know if she even realized that her stream was exactly what a morning with children really is! One, great, big, long, exasperating sentence of frenetic energy and frustration! Well done.
Dixiegirl is my dear friend whose talent with words is intimidating, but, she’s way cool about it. Ultra educated, but without the arrogance. She writes and writes and writes. Complete sentences with tons of wonderful, challenging words! I love her, because, she motivates me to LEARN!
Well, I never expected to enjoy NaNo. It scared the dookie out of me at first. But, now? I’m absolutely LOVEEEEENG it!
Good luck to all who’s riding this NaNo train with me!
