I may be taking a wee break from theatre, but y’all know me, I don’t know how to not be busy. This month I’m participating in National Novel Writing Month! I might have told some of y’all (only partially joking) that my dream has always been to become the American J.K. Rowling; some of y’all might even be some sweet friends who’ve stuck around since my fanfiction days. But I haven’t written in years- really, it’s been almost eleven years since I completed my first novel and shoved it in a drawer, never to see the light of day again. This year I’m trying. I wrote an outline, I filled in my #preptober2019 workbook religiously (lots of thanks to @nataliaaleigh for creating it!!) and I’ve made sure to take the time to write. I’m five days in, and this morning I broke 10,000 words. Is it perfect? No. Am I having a great time writing for the first time in years? Absolutely. I’ve even joined authortube and started making daily videos, and started posting on tumblr again. I don’t know where this book will go, but hopefully it won’t get locked in a drawer. #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2019 #nationalnovelwritingmonth #authortube #authortuber #authortubenewbie https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iY3SVA_Hz/?igshid=1w5astz43k5mb
