Anyhow, I didn’t get much more than one drawing for Inktober done (because I am a bum) and I’ve been working on a Paint With Diamonds kit that’s not an original design so I won’t post it. But it’s done, and now we’re entering November, or as some people know it, National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short). For anyone that has never heard of NaNoWriMo, it is where you challenge yourself to write a short 50,000 word novel all in the month of November. I have only finished once that I can remember – usually I give up halfway through the month, and that sometimes depends on how busy I am. I’m not as busy as usual this year, so I’m hoping I can stick with it.

I do want to paint more, and have a project book set up to try to draw more, but that likely won’t start regularly until December. I got a bit of a late start with NaNoWriMo this year, but at the moment I am sitting at 4770 words. I will give an update later in the month with how far I was able to get.

Even if you have no interest in undertaking the challenge, I’ve noticed that they’ve done quite a few updates to the NaNoWriMo site since the last time I had checked it. They’ve opened it up to allow people to track their progress on non-challenge related writing projects and goals too, so that could also be interesting to check out and try.
