BOO and Happy Halloween bloggers, writers and readers!
I'm finally writing the end chapter to my current wip. I knew roughly what would happen and how I needed to end the story of Clara and Luc (the book doesn't have a title yet) but it wasn't until my walk this morning that the details became clear.
My conclusion - active body=active brain cells!
Once I write The End, I'll go back to the beginning and smooth over the messy bits, add more flavor, tie up any dangly bits and begin the dreaded synopsis so I can begin the query process.
I was hoping to finish this book weeks ago but two weeks of sick kidlets threw a serious wrench in my creative process. My boys are needy (and that's putting it kindly) when they're feeling icky (*cough* much like their father *cough-cough*) but that's okay... it's part of the job description. BUT - and this is where I actually get to the point - the messed up time-line makes it impossible for me to do NaNo. And maybe that's a good thing. Maybe next year, when Sweetness (aka youngest son) starts school full-time and I'll have hours to spend at the computer rather than minutes -- and I'll feel less guilt. (thanks for that mom)
Are you NaNo-ing? How do you juggle it all? What sort of schedule will you adhere to (if at all) and what are you writing?

I have signed up to NaNo again this year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it or not. I really want to get a ton done on the next installment of the Hauberk series, but I have an unrelated WIP that I want to finish editing as well.
We'll see ...
And yes, sick kidlets can definitely throw a wrench in the creative process. So glad you didn't get it.
As for more time when Sweetness starts school - don't plan on it, LOL. I thought there'd be more hours, but there always seems to be something come up to pull you away.
Congratulations on finishing your WIP! WOO HOO! And yup, the active body = active brain cells works for me, too. Though I'm NaNoing my butt off, I'm hiking on my regular schedule.
I'm glad your kiddos are feeling better. And as far as a NaNo schedule -- don't really have one. On quieter days, I'll write my arse off; on busier days, I'll fit the writing in anywhere it will go. :)
H & P!
