It's November 1st which also signals the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for those of you wondering what that strange string of letters means on various blogs and writing sites). There are contests and forums and online support groups for this. Basically, you challenge yourself to write everyday for one month with the end result hopefully being a 50,000 word novel. No focus on editing or re-writes. Just write with abandon.
I've never tried this but I think I'm going to wander into the fray this time. I've been a lazy writer in 2015. Still producing written product, sort of, but at a really slow and disconnected pace. This will be my own personal challenge to get myself back to the organized daily writing I so love. I'll try to post my progress here on a semi-regular basis. I would so love to hear from any readers as to how this is going for you too.
I have an idea for a contemporary YA, so now's the time. Here I go! Happy NaNoWriMo to you too! Keep you posted.
