Nanowrimo

November was Nation Write a Novel in a Month, and the Nanowrimo group sets out to write about 50k words in a month.

I was all set up to work on my book, but then life got in the way. My son broke his ankle. Then I got involved in a CSU protest in Long Beach. If you search Youtube.com for CSU Board of Trustees meeting November 15, you'll find two 9-minute clips. I make an appearance in the second clip. Oh, and I was threatened with arrest, but that's all a long story.

The short end is that I got a few brief moments of writing, but most of my writing efforts went into complaint letters (to the police department) and other organizations. My lesson here is that most organizations count on the laziness of the public. If you want action, WRITE!

Now, I need to heed that advice with my novel.
