I tried NaNo twice, several years ago. It wasn't for me. Still, the idea of a monthlong challenge is appealing, and this year, I'd like to challenge myself to be a bit more active here on DW. While a post a day is a great goal, realistically, I'm shooting for 3-4 posts per week, in addition to my weekly writing update.
These posts are not going to be significant by any stretch of the imagination. Just maybe some rambling about inconsequential subjects, some snippets of whatever I'm working on at the moment, etc. This challenge is really about developing a routine, especially during a time when things are changing (I lived 30+ years without Daylight Savings Time; I will always be bitter--and confused--about sudden early nightfall at this time of year).
All that said, I really don't have any idea how to start this routine off. XD Well, I did have pretty nice Halloween, and the kids that came by for candy were so adorable! Little princesses, fairies, werewolves, pirates; a tiny Captain America; an itty-bitty dinosaur who tuckered out not long after he visited my apartment and had to be carried home, already half-asleep. :)
It was sweet to see; after months of anxiety and doom and gloom, it was such a welcome change of pace to see people relaxed and kids happy. :)
