So I’ve been living in micronesia for the past three years but have wanted to try living in Europe – Paris specifically. The work visas are a nightmare and my job (attorney) doesn’t transfer well to different countries.
I recently decided to move back to the states and will have a few months between jobs. I decided to spend the time in Paris. I bought my tickets last week and paid the first month on a short term apartment lease today.

How I did it: I just made time every night. I didn't realize that nanonwrimo was in November and only found out on October 31. So when I started I had no outline, no plot, not even an idea. But I just wrote anyway. I almost quit on my fifth day because it felt like I wasn't going anywhere. But my wonderful wife persuaded me to keep going. It got much easier in the second week, so don't give up! The most important thing is to silence your inner critic. … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just called up and cancelled my cable. Thats all it took. I still get the seasons on DVD of my favorite shows (Dexter and Supernatural), but I just watch those on my computer. I have much more time and am doing more outside activities. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Some surf hit the island and I got to take out my board. I got up right away, but the hard part is catching the wave. looking forward to the next time surf hits so I can keep learning. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
I guess its time to start editing… I’ve never edited anything before, but then I’d never written anything before and that didn’t stop me with nanowrimo.
So is december “nanoedmo”?
