Creeva’s World 2.0

So this month is national novel writ­ing month. One site chron­i­cles and main­tains your progress in get­ting through this goal that most peo­ple never man­age to get done. I was going to par­tic­i­pate last year but was too slow to sign up. So like every­one else on the planet I said I would write one next year. Well next year is here and today is the day that every­one par­tic­i­pat­ing is get­ting geared up and their pens (word proces­sors) are start­ing to kick into over­drive. The goal of this is to inspire more peo­ple to write (some­thing I need). It is not about qual­ity — you can pol­ish later. It’s about get­ting it done and not putting it off again until next year.

There are no win­ners in the tra­di­tional sense. The nov­els are not being judged — nor are they actu­ally being read beyond a sim­ple word counter pro­gram and the honor sys­tem. The way to win the com­pe­ti­tion is to fin­ish a novel — noth­ing more or less. If you tried to cheat the only per­son you would truly be cheat­ing is your­self and miss­ing out on this once iin a life­time (year) expe­ri­ence. I hope at least one per­son read­ing this post finds it interesting .

So far I’m 514 words into my 50k word novel — but the month just started and it’s only a few hours into the first day. I’ll post my progress as much as I remem­ber to. I give every­one out there a kudos and a good luck cheer that they too fin­ish their novel.
