NaNo Diary, Day 3-4
My output for yesterday and today hasn’t been as great as it could have been. One of the ways I relax when I get home from the day job is by watching TV… lately the forensic-type shows–CSI (original, Miami and NY), NCIS, etc. Writing lots of words is problematic when my ears and head are filled with somebody else’s words. It’s okay though. I’m still enthusiastic about my story and I won’t have any trouble picking up my output to more robust levels.
Today’s count is 6,482. A tad bit behind the day 4 goal of 6,668, but no worries.
On the non-fiction front, cranked out 1,250 words on my newsletter on Sunday for a nice start to my own little Non-Fiction in November challenge. And thanks to Nina Amir for stopping by with her encouragement on my project.
Now that elections in the US are over, for the most part tonight, we can focus more on our writing. What are you challenging yourself with in November? NaNo? A different writing project? Something in non-fiction? Share your challenge with us.

I’ve committed to writing the full-length version of one of my booklets…which means a book. Ack! I haven’t done that since I did NaNoWriMo in 2005.
By the way, I ran into a group of Nano’s just sitting down for a write in this evening. They hadn’t read any of my posts in the rebel forums; they said they weren’t rebels. They were all writing fiction. However, the “leader” of the pack had a friend writing nonfiction and had heard of me and the Write Nonfiction in November challenge. That made me happy, as did their invitation to write with them. Unfortunately, I had to go…but I could have used the time writing. I’m way behind.
