When November Comes Early

Or perhaps better said; when September comes late. This warm October weather is bringing us a good deal of raspberries, and the eggplant and tomatoes should keep pumping until the end of this week. (I actually wrote this October 14th, sorry for the late posting)

Writing! It is advancing.

Despite a lingering flu of some kind, a death in the family, ailing parents, the need to make money the old fashioned way and the general need to eat, sleep and bath, headway is being made. And let us not forget the demands of marriage.

There is an event in which I have never participated in, and have no plans to do so in the future, coming up next  week. It goes something along the lines of “Write an entire book in November.”

Writing in advance. How do you stop it?

I think writing and completing a book in a month an impossibility for all but a few in this world. A book takes much more time and effort than one can invest in a single month. Okay, maybe if you cut out the eat, sleep and bath parts of your month. And let us not forget the demands of marriage. A strong moral character would also be a necessity to truly do it all honestly within a month

But along the lines of the November event’s theme, it provides an inspiration to push and finish off this collection of short stories I am working on by the end of November. Yes, something polished, complete, that will not overly work a professional editor.

Thank you for reading. Happy writing.
