Hope Darby Writings

I’ve noticed that as I prepare more and more for NaNo, I’ve been talking a lot less. Normally, my husband can’t shut me up. I’m talking to him, talking to the dog, talking to the cats, yelling at the computer, etc etc etc.

Over the last couple of days, though, he has asked me at least eight times, “Are you okay? You’re so quiet! Are you upset? Sad? What’s up?” or some variation of the same.

So I’ve figured out that the more words I dispense into my writing, the fewer I actually speak. Makes me wonder if JK Rowling ever said a word to anyone while writing the Harry Potter novels…
