My nano update.

I am at 6500 words with my nano novel. But that is ok with me. This is my first attempt to write a novel. That too I tried to write because of nano. My attempt showed me that I am still not ready to write a novel. I am lacking in the dicipline needed for that. When I started writing, long back, I had no idea of writing anything in particular. I wrote a few poems, essays, short stories as and when I felt like it. Novel, I never thought of trying to write one. Now, after trying it once, though I did not reach the goal, makes me want to try again. So I will definitely write a novel sometime in near future. It seems, deadlines don't work with me to make me write.

My Nano

I am doing Nano this year. http://www.nanowrimo.org . That is writing a 50000 word novel in the month of November. Last year , I didn't participate because my parents were visiting.

My nano novel is progressing at a snail's pace. I am at about 3500 words and I am way behind. I spent/wasted a lot of time reading the forums. This being my first year at nano attempt, I wanted to explore everything. But I am not giving up yet. There is still time till the month end. And I plan to continue after that too.

For my novel, I made the narrater of the story, a writer. So when I am not taking the story forward, I can ramble on about playing at being a writer.
