NaNoWriMo 2016!

It's been a long time coming back to this blog and I still can't promise that I will be updating this blog frequently but it currently seems like a good time to use it.

November is NaNoWriMo and this year, 2016, I am making a concerted effort to particpate and make it much further than I've made it before, unlike previous years, thanks to Boho Berry and her NaNoWriMo Bullet Journal.  She made it all seem so plausible and possible. I'll just leave this link here in case anyone else what's to check it out.

I have less time than I've ever had to do it as well.  I'm currently in my last year of college and it's taking more to stay update.  On top of this, I've recently gotten a job working overnight so a good amount of my time is spent doing school, working or sleeping..

To try and help myself in this situation, I've picked a story that's been mulling around in my head for the past few months.  They are characters I'm very familiar with but placed in a new place in life and a slightly different history.  Also I'm keeping the world quite simple.  There will be no magic, and the time is pretty current so there's no techonology or social rules that I have to work out.  The location and settings still need to be fleshed out but I'm generally confident about where it is and how it'll look.

On top of this, I'm actually doing an outline that has details.  I'm hoping that all of this will make the writing smoother and manageable.

Now the next question: by hand or on laptop I'd have to lug around...
