NaNoWriMo novelists – Ready, steady…go!

by Bill Henderson

Here we go…Day 1.

It’s early afternoon, Saturday. No one but me (and my cats) in the house. I’ve spent hours rereading my early chapters, and a few more hours going over some fact-based research that I must be up to speed on. My story structure is rough, but ready.

And I’ve spent the last hour or two cleaning up the kitchen (where I’m working today), tinkering with my blog, checking election news…all standard Bill Henderson procrastination devices.

I’m like a nervous diver, on the edge of the board.

All right, enough. I’m going to ring the big buzzer on all that. Physically, spiritually, ethically, morally, here’s no place to go now but forward…off the board…into the known but unknown future of Regenerating Jeff.

Are you with me? Let’s write our 1,500 words when I say “go.”

“One…two…three…” [fill in appropriate action here]
