NaNoWriMo is almost here! Just 2 weeks to go, and I can hardly wait. I've been waiting impatiently since some time around February when I thought of a brilliant idea for my novel. I have been trying so hard not to overthink it and get myself into that rut where I care about how it comes out too much to actually finish, and so far, I've been pretty successful.

My novel does already have a title - My Life in Funerals - that came with the idea. I've been doing a little feeling around on the topic so I don't run out of things to say during the course of November but no formal planning. I'm not really an outlining kind of girl, and I know from experience that too much trying will probably cause my downfall before I even begin. As opposed to my last attempt, this one will be pure, 100% real fiction. I haven't written something like that since...perhaps tenth grade. So this is a big deal.

And, as I've just edited this thing about six times before publishing it, I've just realized how glad I am for this outlet to somehow edit during this upcoming craziness of quantity-over-quality. Ah! Thank you, blog. Anyways, I'll see you all again at the one week mark!
