I'm not participating in novel writing month. I probably have written about 7000 words this semester in school work, although that might be off. My current assignment is 3,600 words at this time. It's due tomorrow, so I'm going to bed in a few minutes so I can get up at 6 and do the painstaking detail work I need to do. But I am inspired to write a novel when I feel better and have more energy.
