Anne Writes a Novel

Wow.  This is not one I’m especially good at, but it is the beginning of National Novel Writing Month.  And I do have a word count goal.  So I am soldiering on, despite feeling hot and achy, having a back-of-the-neck ache, and breaking out in a mysterious rash of small red bumps.  I know.  Lovely. 

            I’ve found it helps to allow myself to write especially crappy drafts on days I’m not feeling well.  The main thing is getting the words out and making some forward progress.  It’s also funny how my characters tend to have aches and pains when I’m not feeling well myself.  Oy vey.
