Insecure Writers' Support Group (IWSG) is a
really awesome meme that you should be doing along with the rest of us
writers. Unless you truly are happy with your writing and don't feel the
need to vent about your insecurities because they don't exist for you. But, really.... Don't they?
IWSG is hosted by Captain Ninja Alex at his blog, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

This month is Camp NaNoWriMo and I'm currently just beginning it. With such a huge push, at least for me (20,000 words), of words needing to be written by the end of July, I always fear something happening to me that will derail my efforts.
I've only ever tried NaNoWriMo a few years ago in November, and I got a bad cold two weeks in. I couldn't continue after that. This time, I hope to be able to meet my goal, which isn't as hard to reach as regular NaNo's 50,000 words, but it's still a stretch for me. I have the worst luck in getting things like this completed because something always happens to bump me off track.
I'm trying not to think about it and to just feel more positive about succeeding this time. If I sit around and wait for the other shoe to drop, the Universe will see to it that it happens. So, I'm trying to let myself be encouraged by all my cabin mates and keep my schedule as free for writing as possible.
Have you ever had issues with NaNoWriMo, or a long word project that you couldn't finish due to LIFE getting in the way?
Ugh, life.... Get a life and quit bothering me.
