...so it must be National Novel Writing Month, that time of year when I mainline caffeine and lose what's left of my mind.
The goal of National Novel Writing Month (otherwise known as Nanowrimo, or Nano) is to write 50,000 words in the month of November. That breaks down to about 1,667 words a day, or around six and a half pages.
Is it crazy? For sure. Hard? You know it. Am I going to do it? Of course! Even if I don't hit the goal of 50,000 I will have a lot of new words written and be well on the way to writing a new novel.
The novel I'm writing? "Death On the High Seas." It's about a murder that takes place on a stranded cruise ship and the woman who tries to solve the case.
I'll try to update you with my progress. Meanwhile, if you've ever wanted to write a book, this is a great time to start it! Let me know if you're participating!
