This year I am officially entering the National Novel Writing Month!
It's a free challenge where writers commit to writing a 50K novel during the month of November. It's a lot of work and I have absolutely no idea WHY it's held during the holidays, but what can you do? In years past I've merely committed to writing more, but this year I'm aiming for the full 50K.
I want to attend WIFYR this next summer and in order to do that I'm going to need something to actually submit. Participating in NaNo will give me something to work with. What I'm going to end up with won't be pretty, but if I do it then I'll have about 4 months to polish whatever is required for the group workshops I intend on participating in. But that will only work if I actually write.
I've done well so far! I wrote 2,015 words today! Granted, it was a bit of a cheat because I used a lot that had already been written in my previous drafts, but I'm starting over from scratch for this one, so there it is. As the days pass the writing will get easier and I'll make it. As a safe number, they say it's best to write about 2,000 words per day so you reach your goal.
Fingers crossed!
