I see it's not your first, you've done it a couple of years before. Excellent! I've known of it for many years but never felt drawn to take part until now, which is down to a number of factors mostly in my own head...<br><br>I find my writing period each day starts off slow, gets into a good stride and then either ends by necessity - other things needing to be done - or because I start to feel brain fatigue. While I am trying hard to hammer out the word count, and not invoke my inner editor, I don't want to end up writing absolute garbage just for the sake of competing either! So when I feel my head is tiring, I have to stop for either a few hours or the day, reluctantly but, I think, by necessity. I've added you in on NaNoWriMo, and thank you.

Dosed up heavy this morning as we started with a write-in from midnight to 2 AM. Great time including the writing. I made it to about 1500 words in those two hours. Something tells me I could have easily done more but the laughter, music and stories slowed us down a bit. Ha.<br>Cheers.<br>Find me on Nanowrimo - tojosan I'm going to be suffering caffeine abuse soon. Dosed up heavy this morning as we started with a write-in from midnight to 2 AM.
