nanowrimo_ljMy word count isn't where I was hoping it would be, but the book I am writing is a delight to me. I am doing all sorts of little things that cause me joy as a result of this adventure.
I have been using my laptop for months, and rarely used my desktop computer at all, since it's not hooked up to the Internet. Today I saved things to a flash drive and transferred them to the desktop computer, and sat there for a time adding to my novel. I like this novel so much I have saved it to the flash drive, in email and on both computer hard drives.
My word count is behind, but not so much so that I can't catch up. I would really like to "win" nano, but if I don't, I have won already!
There are people around me now who, having seen what I have written, take me more seriously as a writer.
I have met many new younger people and enjoyed sharing energy with them.
I appreciate my time more, and see how much actually do in a day.
My emotions are freeing up as I go from one character to another.
I am putting even more order and respect into my personal life. (There was a lot there already, so this is an added bonus that I am thrilled about.)
I am wondering....are others experiencing positive things as a result of entering this shared experience?
What's it doing for you?

Date: 2009-11-06 06:54 pm (UTC)I'm happy for you! I'm walking around with this inner glow for a partially written book! That causes me to laugh. Perhaps it's like a child having an imaginary friend...I don't know. It's just nice to be projecting myself on several characters and liking who they are...all but the villain, but I can at least understand what he is feeling. So far no one is nuts in this thing. I like that! A touch evil...a touch eccentric...but no out and out crazy ones.
Ah...
I hope the feeling lasts for you!
Edited: I already replied, but it didn't indent, even though I hit the reply link. It happened a couple of times on this thread...so I am simply copying and pasting what I wrote so you will receive it. :)
