Reading and Writing

I have learned that it is much easier to read 100 books in a year than it is to write 50,000 words in a month. The Diary of an Invisible Woman hit about 4,000 words and then was lost in a storm of things to do and other excuses. Maybe next November I will try again. At the rate I am going, it will take ten years to write this thing.

On the bright side, I just finished reading my 97th book and am heading into the home stretch. I have enjoyed so many of the books I read this year and even loved a few. Since I cannot remember what I had for breakfast, it is especiallly nice to have the list to remind me of my reading.

Wishing everyone the happiest of Thanksgivings, filled with turkey and family and friends and, of course, a few stolen minutes to read a good book!

Happy NaNoWriMo

Yes, November is National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 175 page novel between November 1st and midnight, November 30th. Check out the fun website to learn more about the crazy people who put this together. The NaNoWriMo people emphasize that it does not have to be a good novel. You just have to write lots of words. The describe it as the Great Frantic Novel.

So, in my spare time, I have decided that it would be fun to participate. I will try to figure out how to link this blog with whatever I write. Just as a teaser, I think that the title will be Diary of an Invisible Woman. I wish it was as easy to write pages as it is to write titles!

So far I have written three pages. Only 172 to go. Check back and see how its going....
