\u00a0myNaNoWriMo novel. You didn’t know that!? Well, of course you didn’t. I never bothered telling you.<\/p>\nOk, so here’s the deal.<\/p>\n
I Started writing\u00a0myNaNoWriMo novel. You didn’t know that!? Well, of course you didn’t. I never bothered telling you.<\/p>\n
I mean, I told everyone in person, and I even mentioned it on facebook, but I didn’t put it here. On my blog … the very blog that I created just to talk about my writing!<\/p>\n
So, here’s where it gets even more fun. I have three different novels sitting in my head right now. (Well there are actually more than that, but I was only ever considering three of them for NaNo)<\/p>\n
One is a lovely tale of genocide and revenge. That one is fantasy with SF elements.<\/p>\n
Another was A spooky tale about a haunted house. Very cool story and I’m hoping it turns out well.<\/p>\n
The third was a strange SF story set in space and involving lots of weird space stuff going on. (Oh, and a threat to Earth, of course.)<\/p>\n
Now here’s where that fun part happens. I spent this whole past week ruminating on the haunted house story. I allowed my mind to roam around in it, and tried to get into the feel of it, so that I could get a nice spooky start as soon as November rolled around.<\/p>\n
So I’m waiting, fingers itching to start typing, and I bring up NaNoWriMo’s website to make sure I had everything entered and ready to go. Now this is MINUTES to midnight on October 31st, when I see …<\/p>\n
The working title, and description of the SPACE STORY!!!<\/p>\n
Well, at some point I had decided that that was the one I intended to write, and I entered all that info into their website, but I never bothered remembering that I had done so.<\/p>\n
Just so you know. The first year I tried doing NaNo I tried writing the Genocide\/revenge story. I didn’t get very far. Wasn’t ready to come out yet. That was 2013<\/p>\n
The following year I decided to go for the Haunted house story. Never happened. But it got entered, just not written. That\u00a0 was 2014<\/p>\n
2015 I took another crack at that same novel. Again, nope.<\/p>\n
Then I entered nothing into Nano for two years. 2016 and ’17 were a complete wash.<\/p>\n
Well, now the planets have aligned. I have been writing for some time. I would be writing everyday even if there was no Nano. So I should be able to pull this off, right?<\/p>\n
We shall see.<\/p>\n
As of exactly when I am writing this post, myspace novel has 1660 words in it, so far. I got a little late start because of the whole completely-different-than-I-thought-it-would-be thing, but am slamming out the words at a brisk enough pace that I should be able to hit the mark this time.<\/p>\n
YAY!<\/p>\n
I could use some thoughts, and prayers. Though I will gladly accept iced tea, and Ritalin. See you on the other side!<\/p>\n
PS-Yes, I am not only writing the novel but I am also taking the time to update this blog. (Did I mention the Ritalin?)<\/p>\n
