NaNoWriMo Approaches
I’m writing this post from my iPhone.1 I’m on the phone because I’m mostly avoiding the computer during my morning writing sessions these days, which ought to explain the drop in post and tweet frequency.
And while I miss being in the mix each morning, there is a good cause: NaNoWriMo is coming post haste and I’ve a novel to plan.
Last year, my planning consisted of some basic outlining and a few pages of notes.
This year, it’s all out. I’ve already been planning for a month and I have a lengthy outline and tons of notes in the works.
But November is coming fast and I need to get back to work, so if you’ll excuse me.
Hope exciting things are happening in your creative world!

It’s definitely distracting to have one’s writing computer be one’s blogging computer (not that I have any experience in this matter, mind you ; – )

LL, thankfully I am doing a lot of offline planning on paper right now, but planning/ writing on the computer can be a struggle with the internet, no? I plan to make liberal use of an app I have on my Mac called “Freedom” during NaNoWriMo this year. It turns off my internet connection and won’t let me turn it back on unless I reboot the computer… now that’s discipline!

Discipline, or torture! : )

So you’re away from your computer but blogging from your phone? That probably doesn’t count as ‘away from the computer’. I’m just sayin. I have a Blackberry, and I have the same struggle sometimes, so I have to mute my phone and put it in the other room. I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but unplugging is pretty tough. Camping helps.

LL, It feels like torture sometimes, but the results speak for themselves…
Chris, Hey let’s not split hairs now. But you’re right, unplugging is very tough. Sarah and I were just talking about that last night… not tough for her, but she’s awesome. I need extra help.
