Gearing up for NaNoWriMo!

I think I've got that title right...

Anyway, November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  I found out about this last year about 3 days in to the competition but did complete it in time.  Basically you have 30 days to write 50,000 words.  I work well under pressure apparently.  I completed my novel in November and then...did absolutely nothing with it.  

I really need to work on that...

So, November is fast approaching and this time, I am going to be better prepared with an outline written and some plot direction ahead of time.  I tend to start writing and NOT have anything plotted out and somewhere around chapter five realize that I have forgotten my main character's last name or physical description.  Bad writer!  I am hoping to learn from these past mistakes and totally kick butt on this new project.

Maybe this year I will actually SUBMIT this book to a publisher...maybe...

    I think there's a NaNoEdMo too (National Novel Editing Month ;) )

Thanks so much for stopping by! I love getting comments and feedback from my readers. I apologize for having to eliminate the option for anonymous comments but with so many spammers and one particularly "crazy" individual, I had to do it.

Thanks, again!
