Is This the Real Life?

Now, as October ends, I look back to the 40+ posts I made this month and say, "Whew!!!" I am so glad to have put in some writing despite my laslas-pulso schedule this month. Hopefully, I will get to feed this blog with more stories in November.

As mentioned in a previous post, I am doing the NaNoWriMo this year and all hell is supposed to break loose tomorrow, November 1. It will be a gruelling month of putting together the first draft of a novel with at least 50 thousand words. I don't know how I will be able to get some short stories done with this task at hand but maybe I could post some bits and pieces of the novel I'm planning as I write it along. I don't know how you guys would take it as it may not entirely be lesbian-themed. (Full disclosure: I don't have a friggin plot yet. Gaaaaah!) I guess I'll take the story as it comes along. Please don't judge me if I don't even go beyond 10k in this 50k goal.

Also, JOMS Month comes to a close. If you all could recall, I mentioned at the beginning of the month that I would be dedicating October's posts to my Peyups G2G family. Majority of the stories I put out this month were inspired by our girl group (Charoz). And I believe it is only fitting that I end this month via a link to an article written by one of the most well-loved joms in our group. She captured our story best :)

Thank you again for being there for me and with me this October. Love and kisses to you all!

Trying My Luck (and Short Attention Span)

Just a few hours back, I decided to sign up for the NaNoWriMo challenge. (God bless my poor procrastinating soul.)

NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. It's supposed to be this real harrowing experience where you try to come up with the first draft of your novel of at least 50 thousand words in the span of an earth-month. The challenge officially starts on November 1 and ends on November 30. That's 30 days of trying to churn out at least 1667 words a pop.

So, as if I'm not yet neck-deep with my Masters' paper, tutoring responsibilities, and writing jobs, I will once again dive myself into this pool of time consuming uncertainty.

(Ka-drama ah.)

By now, I should at least have a plot in mind. But first, I need to go find a piece of it. My mind, that is.

Meanwhile, I'd love to hear your suggestions for story angle possibilities. Or if you're as much a Gemini as I am (Geminis will get what I mean), come join me as we embark on this challenge together, sink or swim :-)

P. S. Today was not so happy, hence no webseries chapter posted. I'm gonna make bawi tomorrow by posting at least two ;-)
