Today begins a torturous adventure that I have decided to inflict upon myself.
FeNoAdMo.
February Novel Adding Month.
This idea came into my head a few weeks ago, and I knew that I would not do it, no matter how much I wanted to. And what is the only way to keep myself doing a project? Tell someone that I am embarking upon it, because then failing the project would just be embarrassing. So I told Carrie, whom I hope will go with me on this month long addition of 30,000 words to our novels.
30,000 is such a small amount of words that it almost sounds easy (look at that. How will I ever become a good writer if I insist on starting sentences with numbers?). Almost. That is 1,072 words a day. So small, compared to the required 1,667 in a NaNoWriMo day.
But the problem is that I have been away from my novel for so long. I have been re-reading it in an attempt to get the mood of the story back, but that just makes me mad and has caused editing, which is a monumental task that I will, maybe, get around to in March.
I have never finished a novel before, and I've started so many of them that it's just pathetic. But I really hope that FeNoAdMo will get me close to, if not directly to, this point.

YAAAAAYYY FENOADMO! I'm not beastin' like you and doing 1,072 (a day (I'm only doing 1,000. . .hahaha the number is really pretty and round.)
Yeah, I feel slightly disjointed from the novel, and the words I'm writing are more forced than they were in November. I think maybe I've written two good sentences in 2,000 words. But we never get back in now, it'll never happen!
You and me both, Amy (for not having ever finished a novel.) So, let's just say it here: I WILL FINISH KILL THE DIRECTOR (TITLE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.) AND YOU WILL FINISH THE GALES. Absolutely no exceptions. We can help each other edit. :):):)
I'm soo proud of you Amy!!! You're inspiring me! Furreals I think FeNoAdMo is fantastically awesome.
Carrie- 'tis true. WE SHALL SUCCEED!!!! and I don't even want to think about editing... that's just scary.
Megan-MEGAN YOU SHOULD WRITE SOMETHING/SOME EQUIVALENT!!!
