My Version of NaNoWriMo

So, November is National Novel Writing Month. My intention this year, as it has been for roughly four of the last 10 Novembers, was to write a novel. I was going to have an idea, be more organized and write so many words per day to actually accomplish my goal.
I found the Snowflake Method of organizing an idea for a novel and expanding it to the point where a first draft could - theoretically - be written in the 30 days of November. I was excited. I was determined. I was ... destined to fail.

Not really. I mean, it isn't failure to get an opportunity to make more money to help the family financially. It is even less of a failure when you get two opportunities, and then find another great-sounding job that would mean good money. So, I was not destined for failure. However, life has a way of throwing logs into the path of my determined little Harley Davidson Sportster on the path of life [hey, laugh all you want. At least I am cool in my own analogy on life].

So, I had a couple opportunities. One didn't work out because of minion-related factors and Numero Uno's own job opportunities. One didn't work because, yet again, my writing style "did not fit their needs at this time." This is a mystery I need to unravel to get more freelance work. But I digress.

I have other projects that I'm working on to make money this month. However, with all of these potentials and realities and a teething Bitty Bear and a bout with a cold that gave me nausea and vertigo for two days - all sorts of fun and games - I am adjusting my hope and dream for this particular NaNoWriMo. Instead of a novel whose idea didn't get fleshed out, despite my high hopes for the Snowflake Method, I'm going to make a post a day on this blog about the family. Obviously, we are on November 11th

(Happy Veterans Day! POW-MIA Never Forgotten)

My goal is to write two posts a day until I can catch up. Then, I am going to keep writing one until November is over. Then, I'll see how I do with posting every other day or 3 times a week.

Oh, and a big part of this is posting the links to my FB at least once a week. I have a lot of blogs started that I didn't share, therefore mostly losing the point of writing in the first place. 

Wish me luck.
