National Novel Writers Month

Starting on the first of November, the Nanowrimo begins. It's an exciting time for budding novelists to sit down and force themselves to write that first draft. Fifty thousand words can look like a lifetime when you've never done it before.

I did the Nano last year and really enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to watch my word count climb and to see exactly what I could do with a month's time and a decent plot line. This year I'm not as worried about the amount of words. If I have a plot that sticks, characters I like and ideas that blend then I can write that amount within two weeks time.

I will be holding off on finishing the rest of my stories until I have those fifty thousand words. When that happens, I'll finish off the three stories I've got going and you'll also get to read my nano manuscript as it gets finished.

Wish me luck!
