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.
