It is the eve where characters come out of all sorts–ghosts, goblins, vampires, love struck protagonists, evil antagonists. Yup, it is the eve before National Novel Writing Month. Who knew this mostly solitary activity of writing a novel could be such a party? I am diving in tomorrow. This will be my first crack at NaNoWriMo. I spent so many years working on the first novel that I didn’t feel ready to kick off something else, and my Novembers of past were always pretty crazy. This time things feel a little more manageable, and I have a wonderful group for encouragement. I also have my Momwriters for encouragement.
Perhaps nothing will come of it, but it will get me focused on a new project and hold me accountable in a way. It’s a no pressure party. At the kick-off party, there definitely was a buzz of excitement. Well, I’ll be checking in regularly throughout the month. Really, I will.
I think you should get little rubber wristbands that have “NNWM” on them. I’ll buy one!
Lol:) I lose those things all the time. I think that the official NaNoWriMo site might have something like that.
Your blog looks great. Fun photos below too. I’ve never tried NaNoWriMo either so I’m curious about how it will work for you. Good luck!
Thanks. So far it is going well. I mean I am at least getting into the new novel. I don’t know if I will make the 50K, but I will definitely get something going, which is good. It also will keep my mind off of novel #1, which is with a publisher right now. No word yet on whether they will want it, but they were interested enough to ask for the full manuscript.
Awesome! Fingers crossed.
I wish you luck with NaNoWriMo.
Thanks:)
