NaNoWriMo Update
Things didn’t quite go as planned today. I didn’t get home from my doctor’s appointment until 11 a.m. And at 1 p.m. I went to physical therapy, which the doctor prescribed for the neck pain I’ve been having. It was almost 4 p.m. before I got home from that.
But, despite not having as much time as I wanted in which to write on this first NaNo day, I got 1,307 words written. Nothing is on my schedule for tomorrow so I plan on doing better.
Meanwhile, I’m hoping my night-time thoughts and dreams will be filling in a few more blanks in my holey story. How’s everybody else out there doing?

Pat, I like your last paragraph about your “holey” story. Im sure you will catch up. I thought about NaNo, but my schedule makes it tough now to commit. I did start a writing blog and will write there when I can instead of feeling the heat from NaNo. I wish you sweet dreams. Keep a notebook handy by the bedside so you can write your subconscious thoughts down when you first wake and remember
things. 🙂
Would like to commit too but will wait until after the new year–when I retire! Be well.
I have a lot of admiration for you and the others who commit to NaNo. It’s something I’ve pondered year after year, but have yet to jump in since I seem to speak better with photos than words.
I hope your neck pain has gone away by now.
Thanks Robin. Your pictures do speak beautifully for you.
Keep writing … Pat Bean https://patbean.wordpress.com
