The countdown to NaNoWriMo is almost over. Even though I'm still trying to decide what my story will be, I have committed to write a 50,000 word draft of a new novel during the month of November.
Since writing can be such a solitary endeavor, there is something beautiful about the camaraderie of knowing that there are people all over the world "running" this writing marathon along with me. If you want to track the progress of my emerging novel, NaNoWriMo has created an handy-dandy chart for that purpose. (Click on the word "chart")
Maybe you're thinking about joining in the marathon. If you do, please add me as a "Writing Buddy," so I can track you, too.
Since I'm not likely to be back on here much until the month of November is over, I thought I'd post a few resources that should be helpful in answering any questions you may have about NaNoWriMo specifically or marathon writing in general:
NaNoWriMo website: www.nanowrimo.org/
Also, check out my friend Rochelle's brand new book on the subject: Write-A-Thon
Rochelle is an amazing writer and coach. She promises to continue blogging at her website during the month of November.
Even though I may not be adding on to this blog much during the month of November, I'd love to come back in December and discover that some of the old entries have been read in my absence. If you do dig back in the archives and find anything your like, be sure to leave a comment.
Have a blessed November!
