No longer doing NaNoWriMo

Due to the lack of preparation before the event including writing skills plus also due to other training and time management issuea I have decided to not continue with NaNoWriMo this year.

Next year I will plan better and will have longer to improve my writing skills.

Although I have continued to write entries for my writing and my training blog including race reports.

This experience was good as I can see the comparisn between writing and running. As you would not run a marathon with only training to 5km, although technically it is possible it would be painful and not advisible.

Finally Started NaNoWriMo 08

Nearly 2 days into NaNoWriMo 2008 I have finally started and done a massive 40 words. Now I know I should have done some preparation before the event started.

Typically I now also have a more stuff planned for in November, so I will have to increase my word count per day when I am able to write.

Plus I have still yet to write on my other blog about the Marathon I did last Monday.

I can see how time management and reducing distractions will be important this month.
