The challenge to writers for November, "National Novel Writing Month," is to write a 50,000-word first-draft novel, My personal goal is a 90,000-word first draft. I wrote 3116 words the first day; 3206 the second. So far, I'm 322 words over my target for the first two days; however, I'm confident that will change over time. Tomorrow, as a teaser, I'll post the first chapter ("The Stranger Who Changed My Life") of the book I'm writing this month, Finding Solace: The First Year of Living with Terminal Cancer. Remember, it is the first draft, so please be kind!
