Ok so, every year without fail I try and do nanowrimo (which is in November) and I always fail miserably and blame it on birthdays and trying to get organised for christmas. So this year I thought I would take part in camp nanowrimo which is the same thing but in July.
So far, IM AHEAD OF MY WORDCOUNT.
This is good, so far, although my storyline is terrible, but nano is about quantity not quality so Im trying to ignore the inner editor in me and just go for it.
Even if I get to the end and realise I wrote 50K words of tripe, its a good exercise to get into the habit of writing often and consistently.
But yeah, Im feeling good about this year :)

This week has gone so quickly!
and also really slowly.
We sold the sofa, and Im currently selling Kaisons moses basket, so that will start making a dent in the 'laptop fund' I forgot to save before I bought my new laptop (oops).
Kaison turned 4 months, which I refuse to believe. Nope nope nope.
Tsuki caught a horrible virus off her cousin and was so poorly on Wednesday. Shes only ever been sick once before but she was sick twice on Wednesday and she cried so hard because it scared her. We took her to urgent care just to get her checked over because her temperature was so high and she was really lethargic (Which is totally not like her). Shes fine now though :)
She did however give it to me and David, which was not cool.
Kaison has struggled a bit this week with the heat, hes barely been feeding so Ive been giving him a little water now and then through the day just to make sure hes hydrated.
I also decided (stupidly) that I would do Camp Nanowrimo this year, November is always such a busy month for us so I figured July might be a bit easier.
Although having a storyline might have been more helpful...

Nanowrimo
(Its a bit early I know)
If you aren't in the know about Nanowrimo, it is National Novel Writing Month in which lunatics and literary addicts attempt (and fail in my case) to write 50,000 words in November.
I have been a part of Nanowrimo for 5 years now and havent completed it yet. Theres always something else that needs doing, or I get writers block, or Im pregnant, or I have a small human to look after.
This year will no doubt be no different as to whether I actually suceed or not. But this year will be slightly different as some of my friends are doing it as well and we have formed a facebook group so we can egg each other on.
Im not sure how things are going to be in November so I dont want to over-think too much about what to write. But I was thinking about some sort of parenting non-fiction manual. In a sort of blog style. I dunno, we`ll see what I come up with!
Here is my profile if you decide to join up and be my friend!
