I have always wanted to write a book, but I've never actually taken the time to sit down and write. So, together with a few friends, I've decided that I'm going to write a novel next month. Yes - I did say next month.
The month of November is "National Novel Writing Month" or NaNoWriMo. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel during the 30 days of November! (A tall order! Especially for someone who has never really written much! And research papers don't count.) The NaNoWriMo website also has a word count! (Writers in Lincoln are #135 and Colorado Springs is #351, if you want to follow along :: Here! My words count towards the Colo. Springs #'s. )
I've spent my free time the last few days plotting and planning. (I can't write on the novel until November 1st, but I have to admit I've thought about staying up past midnight on October 31st to start!)
A few famous books to come out of this program? My favorite book I've read this year - "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen? It was a NaNoWriMo book (so were 2 of her other Best Sellers!)
