It’s November, and for me that means back to noveling as part of National Novel Writing Month. Not only am I taking on this 50,000 word challenge, but I have also volunteered to be the Municipal Liaison for my county. So, I am not only responsible for writing my own novel, but I am also responsible for an entire region of writers and helping them to achieve the goal as well! It was a little daunting at first, but after our Kick Off Party and meeting some of my regions participants I know that there is nothing to fear because I am in with a great group!
I am already ahead of the game with my word count, which makes me very happy, and my home office setup is perfect and includes the following:
Hardware:
13" Macbook (circa 2006) connected to a 15" Apple Studio Display
13" Macbook Pro (2009)
16gb iPad (1st Gen)
Apple Pro Mouse
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Software:
Scrivener for Mac
Notebooks for iPad
Dropbox
Loads of iPad games like Splodes and Osmos HD
Misc:
Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones
Large Squared Moleskine
The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on audiobook (I can't write to music, only spoken word)
I have been trying to recreate that home office pictured above as it seems nice and cozy especially with the extreme weather we are getting on the east coast-- it looks like we may have a snowy November ahead. This year I am very lucky because my fiance is also participating in the event, so we have built a novel writing schedule for ourselves to keep each other on track. I know its only day one, but I am feeling really good about this year’s novel, so I hope I have more positive updates to give you in the weeks to come.

How do you like the iPad? I mean, in terms as an alternative to a laptop (which I currently own). Sometimes i just don't like to lug the laptop with me, ya know?
By the way.. had a blast with you this November!
