Writers on your mark... only FOUR days away from the start of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)!In case you don't know, that's the challenge to write a 50,000+ word novel in 30 days. That averages out to over 1600 words per day; over 138 words per hour & 2.3 words per minute. Now that's doesn't sound so hard, does it???
It does if you don't have a plot idea in your head at this moment... I have NOT a single one!!!
But my main concern is I may have another episode of my backwards typing... Yeah, I know... the spelling / context of the words don't count, it's the quantity they're after.
Only thing is I hope that when I have my sister read & proof this one that it's not sooooo far off that she may not get the story. LOL.
Anyway... Get stocked up now on all the snacks & prepare to spend a few late nights typing up a storm.
Just remember, if you're going to do this challenge to take many breaks so as not to get stiff! (Mainly saying this for myself.) ;o)
On you marks... Get set.... WAIT... it's not November 1st yet!!! *giggles*
(Yes that's my "badge" from last year. And to think, I started 11 days late last year!!)
(Title corrected... I forgot there are 31 days in Oct! LOL!)
Good Luck!!! oh and stock up on coffee.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irish... & for me, it's CHOCOLATE I'll be stocked up on! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I wrote a few ideas down a few days ago... now only if I can find that notebook... LOL. (I know where's it's at... but that's just not funny to say that! LOL)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on this year's challenge! Did your hubby ever bring you those Tim Tams to munch on while you type away? :o)
ReplyDeleteI have my epic planned out. At least 10 chapters worth anyway. It should make for an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Lady.. Hugs and Friendship, lilangelwolf...

Good luck. :)
ROTFL at Dory's comment... Yeah, that should last me a while!! *giggles*
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
Maegan... no more Tim Tams yet... The store he was at didn't have them... YET! (I'm about to strangle someone! J/K!!!)
I don't know how to send send invitations, and I would like to become your buddy and Karen's, and whoever else doesn't mind another buddy. Help!! My ID there is MysTERIous.
ReplyDeleteWhen on the NaNo home page... click search from the tabs (3rd from left) & then click the Authors tab... Then enter in the user id. Then click on the one that fits who you're looking for & choose "add buddy"... Then I believe a request is sent to them & you're all set! :)
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an invite.
Good luck with your book! :)
