Day 9 NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 

is National Novel Writing Month, 

a month long challenge to write a novel 

throughout the month of November. 

I didn't think I would get through with my goal for today.  So far, I've kept my word count goal.  You see, there was a family crisis last night, and I got caught up in it.  I kept as much of my cool through it.

I prayed.  I researched online...


and I cried.

My blood pressure went up.  Perhaps I was suffering a panic attack.  I started with the body aches.  I was so keyed up that I couldn't sleep.  I ended up staring at the ceiling.

Really, I thought I was gonna suffer a nervous breakdown...but I didn't.  I lived into another day, with my brain intact to bring you more of my nuttiness.  Well, I think I'm sane!


So what does a writer do during a crisis?

Well, if you are diabolical like me, you'd start plotting the next scenes to your story.  You guessed it, I used the material of the crisis for my story.  I know.  I'm cruel like that!


Beware: I might use your drama for my story!


Maybe I should blame it on my hormones, but I had to channel all my wild emotions into something positive. 


Seriously, though, I thank God that I have an outlet for the emotional issues that hit me.  Without writing, I would totally have lost it by today.  I think it's true, what is meant for bad, God turns around for the positive.  Also, what doesn't knock you down only makes you stronger...and I think I'll leave it alone on that note. ;)

Well, thanks for reading, my friends.  I'll give another update tomorrow.
