Welcome to my digital writing journal, or mydigitalclutter. What started as a family blog almost two years ago has morphed into my writing therapy. This is where I do a lot of free writing, mostly about my life with my family and the things that catch my interest. While nowhere even close to perfect, in each post I like to see how my writing is changing with time and practice. Most posts are left unedited for this reason, so if you don't mind, take the journey with me.

Should I.....or Shouldn't I? That is the Question



So, I am debating.  That can be very dangerous, truth be told.  I missed NaNo last year, partly because I stumbled across it mid-November last year.  Yes, I live under a rock in the writing world.  I've been very hesitant about signing up, because of the huge time commitment involved.  I have a lot outlined, scenes scripted in my head, but I just don't know.  Help!  Can I still be a good mom, go to work, and do everything I want to do and still see if I can accomplish NaNoWriMo?  Advice...Please!!!!

I was debating too. All you have to do is finish a novel? 50,000 words? Do you turn that manuscipt in? How do they make you accountable? Wanna do it together?

You totally can. I work 25 hours a week and I still did it. And yeah, I have kids and chores and blogging and everything else. Especially if you already have scenes and stuff. You can do it! Go for it!

The only thing I missed was sleep.
