I had hoped to be further along in my NaNo prep by now, but…

October has, yet again, not been a kind month to me. Although I am pleased to say I am now a certified trainer. (Not that kind of trainer.)

Sadly, in the space of a week (well, 8 or 9 days), my house was burgled twice. Between that and travelling for work, my life has been in a state of near constant upheaval. My desk at home, which I was so happy to have finally gotten clear of stuff is, once again, covered in stuff. I’m choosing to look at this as the perfect opportunity to re-arrange the office, and maybe get some filming space set up so I can finally get my YouTube channel going. Maybe.

There have been some interesting and exciting developments in my writing life, but nothing that I can really talk about yet. Watch this space.

But if were being totally honest… Right now, I don’t feel much like doing anything, least of all NaNo. But I’ve committed to having the completed draft of 19 in my alpha reader’s inbox by 23:59 GMT+2 on 30 November, so I don’t have much of a choice. I have no idea how I’m going to motivate myself, but there it is.

If you’re doing NaNo, I want to wish you the very best of luck. May your plot be plentiful and your pen never run dry!
