Nanowrimo 2009

November 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments

This month is Nanowrimo which stands for National Novel Writing Month. I’ve committed to writing a 50,000 word novel. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.

As of today I need to write 2000 words a day to reach my goal. It’s proving to be a bit more difficult than expected but so far I’m managing to pull it off.

I don’t think I’ll have a very exciting book at the end of the month, but I’ll certainly have a solid start. Something for me to edit and rework into a good story, then submit to an editor.

It’s good to have a program like Nanowrimo that forces you to write. Practice is the only way you get better. The program’s providing me with the motivation I need and that’s a damn good thing!

I’ll post more on this blog when interesting events develop!

    Right now I’m planning to do a mid-month and end of month word count. Plus mention any other interesting things that come up. -JC
