111101 Starting NaNoWriMo
Today (November 1) is the start of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a novel in 30 days. It need not be a novel in the strictest sense; contestants have to write 50,000 words in 30 days to qualify for the prize at the end. the prize is...nothing.
I did this year before last and got to 50,083 on the final day. It was one of the most despicable manuscripts I have ever cranked out, and that's saying something. But it was a good start on a fantasy novel and that novel is, today, about 83,000 words, looks damn good, and I'm marketing it now. Would have done so sooner but I was otherwise occupied; in the interim I have actually written a second in that fantasy series, not using the 30-day contest. My entry for this month's NaNoWriMo will be volume #3 in the Sorcet Chronicles series
I'll do a weekly update if I can remember. Meantime, to see samples of the Sorcet Chronicles, go to my fantasy novel web site at http://www.Sorcet.com
