NaNoWriMo 2016

I meant to keep my blog up to date with my NaNoWriMo 2016 writing, but it's already day 13 and I'm finally getting around to it. I blame it on CBS and having a season of Big Brother that is currently going!  ha ha ha

I am up to: 46,110 words as of 11:50am on Sunday, November 13th. My story is about a woman who is a widow, with a grown son who has special needs, who happened to follow her dream of designing clothes. She goes to a film festival (much like the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, but this does not take place in that state) and has some romantic adventures. Where it's headed, I'm not entirely sure.

Writing helps keep me sane. I am not in control of every detail of my day to day life, but I am in control of my characters' day to day lives. I can decide if they can go back in time, if they get to have their dreams come true, if they fall in love or if they pass by that perfect match like strangers in the night.

Good luck to all those who are attempting 50K words for NaNoWriMo. I know how I put myself into my writing and to write is a labor of love.
