NaNoWriMo anyone?
Anyone else out there taking the challenge this year? I did it last year. The book 81 Miles came out of it. Did the whole thing in a month and I didn't even start till the 8th.
To be fair, that book had a HUGE amount of my own life in it. So it didn't really need much plotting and I'd been thinking it out for years. It was the closest to a memoir I will ever get. It just sort of poured out of me. I have never written so fast. Nor will I ever again.
THIS year is a bit more of a challenge. I am working full time now. A big change from last year. I am working with the hope that I can get to the end of the first draft of my new book. Just working on my days off. So far this month I have added about 5,000 words. Not bad for 12 days. But I'm hoping to add another 20,000 before the month is over. Yikes. Light a candle for me.
