There is, perhaps a problem with getting ready for NaNoWriMo too early, because now I want to work on my novel right now, instead of waiting to work on it in August or November. For those of you who do not know, NaNoWriMo, is short for National Novel Writing Month. You are supposed to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. That's 1,667 words per day.
With the novel I have laid out for myself, that shouldn't be too difficult. I imagine I might even get extra words as I have extra scenes ready.
And so it sits there, taunting me. Telling me, Start now! Start while I'm fresh on your mind. Start before you get a job and have no time!
And it has many valid points. I do think that if I started now that I could catch up with those doing July's NaNoWriMo. But the more I delay, the less likely that is. They are already supposed to be at 13,000 words. And I'm at 0. So what should I do? Start now and pray I make it, or wait until August and pray I have enough time to make it?
