Monday, November 1st begins my third year of participation in the http://www.nanowrimo.org/ writing web site. The goal is to write 50,000 words of a first draft novel in 30 days.
I have a novel idea that I have been reluctant to pursue. I think it's time to set it all on paper. Also, in the past years, I have written 2 first draft novels with nanowrimo, but never finished writing the books. My goal this year is to go all the way to the first draft, to 80,000-10,000 words, to finished manuscript, to marketing it to an agent.
I am really nervous about this year's competition. Usually that means that I am placing high expectations. I guess that's good, because my nerves will keep me focused and more disciplined.
