50,000 words in 30 days, starts tomorrow. I suppose by now I should have a plot. I’m hoping something occurs to me (within the next 24 hours would be good).
Actually, I have sort of been working on an outline but I’m not sure I’ll be able to stretch it to novel length. Still a faint heart never won a…novel writing challenge.
And they’re off…
Still hopeful of participating in NaNoWriMo and have been working on the outline of my “novel”.
It’s hopefully going to be a reasonably fun exercise and story. I’ve decided to incorporate another story (that is also only at outline stage) into it. So, with a bit of luck, I should get something out of it.
The closer it gets to 1 November, the bigger the trepidation, but I’ve resolved to at least give it a try. Who knows what I may come up with?
Well, if you’re a sane person, you don’t decide to participate in NaNoWrMo. 
But, no one’s ever accused me of being sane.
I’ve been siezed with the urge to try and write 50,000 words in 30 days. Hey, Bookends is over 50,000 words. And that only took 30 months. 30 days, 30 months…it’s practically the same thing, right?
Anyway, we shall see. Lately, I’ve barely been able to get to a PC, let alone write anything on one. I have great things planned (& hoped) for next month. With a bit of luck, ‘real life’ will give me a break for around four weeks and let me wallow in wordiness.
All this has necessitated a couple of things: The first is I’ve had to start working on an outline for my “novel”. So far, I’ve got a little idea which I’m hoping to turn into a biggish idea. It also means that I’ll have to ‘rest’ my current projects. No biggie – they’re all stuck. And not just because of my non-ability to get near a computer, but more to do with my non-ability to move them along. I still have great hopes of finishing them though.
