The National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) has finally started! After a year of waiting it’s finally come around again!
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
No, I haven’t written anything yet… however, this year I am using a large dry-erase whiteboard to map out my characters, and I have the main character marked on the near-center of the board. 🙂 As I progress through the story (no outline written down this year) I will write down the new characters, write notes, and link everything together on the dry-erase board. 🙂
I am immensely looking forward to creating this year’s novel, code-named “Backspace.”
I have participated in and won NaNoWriMo once – last year, NaNoWriMo 07! 🙂 It was such an excellent writing experience that I hope to do it every year for the rest of my life here on Earth.
This year’s novel will hopefully be a lot less wordy than last year. 😦 No matter what happens, I hope it will be worth while and a ton of fun!
See you on the other side,

P.S. I may do some NaNoWriMo vlogs this year… maybe. 🙂
