Three hours and counting until NaNoWriMo’s launch. This year is a little different for me than the years before for several reasons.

1. My family and I are geographically separated. They’re halfway across the world from me and I’m missing them like crazy. My wonderful husband is doing his best to hold down the fort but we’re all feeling the edge of separation during this holiday season.
2. With the exception of Kim and Lexxie, my other writing partners are not NaNo-ing this year. There are a ton of ladies at the Romance Divas who ARE in NaNo and that’s encouraging, but the word wars and challenges are going to be fewer and far between. To tell you the truth, I don’t know what I’d do without my two amigas. They really keep me going.
3. I’m writing two novels. 100K by the 30th of November. Yeah. That’s right. I’m crazy. So this word marathon I’m on…anyone else have the feeling I’ll need a straight jacket when it’s all said and done?

But I’ll make it. I’ll tear that word count up b/c ultimately, the only one stopping me from achieving success is… Me. See you later, wonderful readers, I’ve got to get my write on.
