Being a wallflower isn’t all bad…
I’m a wallflower, sitting at the sidelines while other people enjoy the party.
Everyone looks like they’re having so much fun, that I’m rather ashamed of my excuses for not joining in – I’m tired, I had lots to do, I have to wash my hair, I have nothing to wear.
I’m talking about Na-No – otherwise known as Na-No-Wri-Mo – otherwise as National Novel Writing Month.
Actually the pedant in me wants to point out that should actually be In-No-Wri-Mo because this party is much bigger than any national boundaries.
I could have started something for Na-No. Really, I could have done. It’s only going to be a novella, I really could have completed it in 30 days, really I could.
But I haven’t.
But that’s okay.
I think it’s important for authors to take a break, sit out a set, shuck off the heels and watch the others on the dance floor for a moment.
A big congratulations to everyone who has put shoulder to the wheel, fingers to the keyboard.
I’m looking forward to seeing the fruits of your work. This is no small thing that you’re doing
I’m feeling revived. Moonstone Obsession is selling well. Warrior’s Surrender is in first stage of editing thanks to my darling husband and I’m just about ready to jump back into the writing again.
Right after I finish this drink.
