November looms

[lolmac]

November starts tomorrow!

The November round isn't until the weekend of the 29th and 21st, but I thought it would be fun to have a check-in at this time.

What are your plans for the month?  Are you doing NaNoWriMo?  Miniwrimo?  Picowrimo?  No writing at all other than the 'rush weekend?

Share your goals and we'll cheer for each other!  Cause that's what we do, and we're damned good at it.

And I'll begin by talking to myself, which is something else I'm good at.

I followed [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s tip and joined picowrimo. I badly need a boost: other than the commentfic I wrote at the very end of the October round here, I've done almost no writing at all this month. So I've committed myself to write every day, with a staggering word goal of 100 words. Not much, true. But more than I've managed for weeks. The point for me is to get back into the routine of writing every day, period.

This will be taking place in the face of the following additional November activities: reduce my possessions as much as I can before packing everything up and moving from Seattle to Florida at the end of the month. I've been in Seattle for over 20 years and in my current flat for almost 11.

At the same time, I have to finish wrapping up, documenting and handing off all the pieces of my very complex job. I've been there for 9 years, I'm the Operations Manager and the only tech-savvy person there, and my esteemed bosses, having been given two month's notice to hire my replacement, aren't replacing me at all.

So I really need to make time to write. Hopefully the writing will also be a stress valve.

Work is going to be ...SPLODY... for me over November/December so I hear you there. Although your bosses seem ...short sighted.

My goal is simply to do something related to either writing or revising on every day of November. You're right. It can definitely be a stress valve.
