Am I a Werewriter?

13,425 words at this writing, and there's more to come tonight. My story hasn't even gotten started; at this rate the whole thing should take (shuffles notes around) about 300,000 words!!! Ack!

What's amazing to me is that as I'm writing in NaNo mode (write and structure be dinged, if not downright darned), the scenes get easier and easier to write. Need an erotic scene? Ding! Heated discussion with multiple characters in a board room? Done! Sneaky scene in which a plane is sabotaged? Easy, sign me up.

My NaNoKidDos are doing great as well; I'm wonderous at how focused this folks, raised from pups, have turned out to be.

Lurking -- well, posting a lot as well -- on the boards shows me just how passionate many of the writers are. It would be interesting to see what the real economic impact of NaNoWriMo is in terms of number of publishing deals, POD sales and general book sales are influenced by NaNo.

What's a fact is that the NaNoWriMo charity has helped thousands of kids in the Far East by setting up libraries. And helped me find a wonderful passion to share with my kids.
