All of the festivities and anticipation of the joyous season might have some of you excited and giddy, but not me. You know why? November is a very busy month for writers, and I am facing some big deadlines starting in a few days.
You see, November is National Poetry month and National Novel Writing month. For several years I have participated in Robert Lee Brewer's Poetic Asides Challenge- to write a poem everyday in November (he does another challenge in April). This challenge is not that great for me anymore, since I already write poems everyday with my Baker's Dozen group of poets from all over the world. But this month, I am also taking the NaNoWriMo Challenge -to write a book in a month...and in November? I know, I must be crazy, but I do like a good challenge.
So as you are festing up for the holidays, please remember me. I will be furiously pecking away at my computer while the kids are at school and after they go to bed. Such is the life of a writer.

You ARE ambicious to take on both challenges in November. A poem a day AND a novel in a month. I will do the Poetic Asides PAD challenge this year and that seems like a lot to me in that busy month but I always aspire to do the NaNoWriMo but I won't take it this year. Too much going on. Sometimes I think taking the challenge is the thing and that not finishing it would be such a failure but if I write several hundred words I haven't written before, that would be accomplishment..I think.
Good luck, I know you will do well and succeed. I'll be one of your cheerleaders! :)
Thanks, Judy! I'll try... one word at a time! Glad you're doing the PAD challenge... see you there.
I'll see you at the PAD challenge too. I've done it for a few years now. (I might be doing the late night routine with you, as I watch my granddaughter from morn til early evening; but I'm determined.)
Amazing.... how you do it is a straight gift from God :)!
