I'm happy to report that Nano is going better this year for me than it ever has before. I am at 22k, well ahead of schedule, my novella is flowing seamlessly, and I'm about the hit the climax of the action when the words will really start moving. Because the books in the Falling for You series tend to run between 32k-35k, the plan is to finishing Waiting for You and then begin Only You, getting me to the 50k mark. This is going to be a divergence from my normal monthly schedule. I usually spend about three weeks writing the novella, then I give myself until the end of the month to do a first read-through, and get some notes put together for the next book. This month, I will be plowing right on to Only You, but I'm hoping with the accelerated writing schedule, I'll have time at the end of December to do my read-throughs for both, and then get a bit of a breather before January hits and the major editing begins.
I thrive on a schedule, and so far I have been keeping to it very well. In the past, I had a lot of things throw me off course. For one, with my first pregnancy, I found that while my body is busy creating life, and then nursing said newborn life, I can't write. No matter how much time I try to carve out for myself, my mind and body are completely consumed with what my person had managed to create, and no writing is done. By the time my babies hit around five months, the muse starts to whittle her way back, but she's usually not in full force until I have a sleeping-through-the-night and weaned ten month old. With four kids under my belt, I'm hoping that part of my life has come to a close. (We'll see. I'm sure when my twins are three I'll start moaning that we need another baby.) I'll try to keep you current on how Nano is going, what the Seabrookes are up to in their romantic endeavors, and general writing updates. I've got to get back to Lincoln and Charlotte, and see what they're up to. Hopefully, something a little naughty :) Love always, Lucy
