This year, I’m participating in NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month competition.
For those of you who don’t know, NaNoWriMo is a challenge to yourself to write 50,000 words, or one book, during the month of November. So the competition doesn’t pit you against other writers, but against the clock to reach your goal.
I’m excited being a first time participant and giving this a try. I always love trying new things as a writer, and if I take to this competition, November might be the month I start writing all my new novels/novellas.
I feel like I’ve set myself up to have a successful first NaNoWriMo experience. The idea for this latest story came to me in May, festered in my brain until I started jotting down notes for the next two months, and have been actively drafting outlines since August. To say I’m chomping at the bit ready to go is an understatement.
That being said, any and all encouragement is welcome 🙂
Every Tuesday during the month of this competition I’ll be posting updates on my progress.
