I
have made a commitment to myself to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. For
anyone who’s unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, the idea is to draft 50,000 words of a
new novel within the month of November.
It is a voluntary program and individuals choose to participate for lots
of reasons, but mostly they choose to participate for the added support and camaraderie
in order to get a first draft completed.
Individuals ‘win’ at NaNoWriMo if they manage to write their 50,000
words during November.
I will not be sharing very many
blog posts in November, and I won’t be doing a great deal of reading either – I
really want to commit to this writing goal.
Writing fiction is incredibly difficult and I really hope that I can be successful.
Even if I reach my goal of a first draft
by the end of November, that is only the first step – next will come the
editing and cover design and more editing…but getting that first draft written
will be amazing – so wish me luck, and please don’t be mad if you don’t hear
very much from me for the next 30 days.
