NaNoWriMo is the obvious one. It&#8217;s why you are here. The second, and slightly more important, is the end of the last Fall semester of my Master&#8217;s degree. This week meant a lot of writing, just not the kind of writing that I would like to talk about here. I wrote around 6,000 words of academic writing. I read a lot.\u00a0<em>The Turn of the Screw<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Frankenstein<\/em>. <i>Dracula<\/i> is sitting on the coffee table in front of me, waiting to be picked up. I&#8217;ve already read over 100 pages today. I watched Jack Clayton&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Turn of the Screw<\/em> adaptation,\u00a0<em>The Innocents<\/em>, and analyzed it for visual symbolism. Then there was a bibliography due for the final paper in my adaptation class. Did I lose anyone in all of that? I&#8217;ll just stop there before we get into the article I had to summarize on the children in\u00a0<em>The Turn of the Screw<\/em> as they relate to Gothic liminality. Don&#8217;t know what liminality is? Neither did I until this week.<\/p>\n<p>Long story not so short, this week was about a lot of things that didn&#8217;t have anything to do with NaNoWriMo. The little writing I got to do went very well, and I am sad that I got out of the habit. One of my favorite things about NaNoWriMo is the day-to-day grind. I enjoy it in some sick way. Hopefully, I will be able to clear some time to get back to it this week before I get too far behind. I&#8217;m still in good shape for my expected 25,000 words. I just can&#8217;t have any more weeks like this week.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out www.ljworld.com\/nanowrimo2013 to keep up on all the updates from the local newspaper coverage of the Lawrence region.<a href=\"http:\/\/almabahman.com\/ljworld\/nanowrimo\/nano.html#section-6\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NaNoWriMo progress: 14,346<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November means two things for me this year.
