Writing update

Hello,

I am very happy to let you know that I have been writing up a storm of late. On the first of this month I decided to join nanowrimo. If you aren't aware, nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month. It is a challenge to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I am very glad that I joined up this year. I do well with deadlines/challenges and I am happy to say that I am slightly ahead of pace at the moment.

It fees really good to be writing heavily again.

   I find it best to write in a journal. I've tried writing directly into the computer, but I write much slower that way. I find it ironic that I write faster when I, in effect, write every word twice.
