Look out November . . . I registered for NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month!
I’ve known about NaNoWriMo for several years, but this is the first year I’ve actually registered for it.
To be honest, this is also the first year my novel-writing-schedule has happened to be timed right so that I can participate. In other years, I was either at the end of a manuscript, or I wasn’t even in the preliminary stages of plotting out the manuscript when NaNoWriMo rolled around.
This year, I am setting the goal of getting this next manuscript plotted out so that I can start working on it November 1st. I’d really rather not spend the entire month of November writing complete crap. I don’t have time—this manuscript is due January 1st. Therefore, I intend to plot my little heart out. I will even break out the Excel spreadsheets!
Technically, I can’t bring any previously written stuff to the table. Technically, I won’t—I’ll be writing all new words during the month of November. However, I already wrote the first chapter of this manuscript for my Marketing Info Sheet, and I’m not about to scrap it.
One of the founders is Chris Baty, and he wrote an amusing and encouraging book called No Plot? No Problem! especially for NaNoWriMo participants.
NaNoWriMo is NOT just for serious writers. It’s for absolutely ANYONE who has always wanted to write a novel but never got around to doing it.
So I hope some of you guys will join me in this! Why not, right?

Now I just gotta plot out a novel before NOV 1st! Ha, yeah. I can see that happening!
That's as deep as I can manage with a migraine hitting.
Good luck to you! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Writers, start your engines!:-)
