I’ve never joined NaNoWriMo. I’ve checked out other author’s blogs and see that quite a few did join this year. I was tempted, but I knew I had too much on my plate this month and wouldn’t be able to get my word count in.
That being said, I do have the NaNoWriMo spirit. Meaning, I didn’t join but I still have a goal of when I want my novel finished. I haven’t checked my word count on my work in progress lately. (I want to surprise myself at the end of the month. Sort of like being on a diet and not checking your weight on the scale for a week.)
I do know that I have been getting a lot of writing done. I don’t know if this is due to having the spirit of NaNoWriMo or that I’m just on a roll. Whatever it is, I’m enjoying the feeling of my fingers flying (Okay, maybe not flying. How about racing? Still too fast? Okay how about going at a reasonably moderate pace? Better? I thought so.), on the keyboard. I don’t have this feeling often but when it’s here I revel in it.
Next year I may try my hand at NaNoWriMo. But if not, I’m content to just have the spirit.
