Host a Fest?

Nobody has signed up to host a fest in November. Does anybody want to take this one? It's not a lot of work, and it's a fun way to promote your favorite fandom(s) or other topic.

Nanowrimo is a writing event that's kind of popular. (Understatement.) It stands for National Novel Writing Month, and the goal is to write 50K of a first draft of a novel, usually in the month of November.

Therefore, writing at most twenty-five two hundred word drabbles seems to be the antithesis of it.

I knew about Nanowrimo. I can't even wrap my mind around doing that. I just broke the 60,000 word mar for so far this year. I can't imagine writing that much in one month. I'm impressed by the people who can.

Uh...............................

Bear in mind that I'm not employed. My worst writing month on record is only 30k because of a save fail on the spreadsheet. I couldn't be bothered to open every document to rebuild the word count. *G*

I don't work outside the home either, but there's so much to do and I don't sleep well anymore. I'm sitting her looking at al the crap I have to do and just can't get to it today. I have to get back on schedule.

About eight years ago, I began bicameral sleeping. It's insomnia with at twist. Trying not to wake the husband and kids, I started reading fanfic in that window when I was supposed to be sleeping. Then I started writing. It worked for years. Next time you can't sleep, get up, set a timer for fifteen minutes, then write. Noodle ideas. Jot notes for a character or setting. When the timer goes off, go back to bed and try again.

Eventually, I worked the waking time in the middle of the night down to two hours, and it helped tremendously. I also added an hour to each end of the sleep brackets, and that helped more.

I have had repeated "out of spoons error" occasions over the last week or so, but that's likely due to all the extra yardwork.

I'm trying to figure out what to use for lists on the Drabble Fest. My brain is is being ridiculous. I don't usually have issues with that. I'll pull it together. This is going to be fun.

Check the lists on the Bingo Card Generator for ideas.

That's what I was doing earlier. I got a little sleep so now I feel better and much more clear-headed. that will help when my headache goes away I can get this fest up and running.
