I’m participating in NaNoWriMo again this year and hope to complete my second novel by November 30!
A few quick things to get out of the way:
- I don’t know what the subject of my novel will be yet. Wait until Day 2 to ask — I may have a better idea by then.
- NaNoWriMo is about getting 50,000 words churned out in a month. That doesn’t mean it’ll be publishable at the end. I’m not going to foist the rough copy on anyone.
- I may use the rock star name generator again this year.
- I will be writing in public — some call it “WIPing”. Don’t look at me strangely if I use the term.
- If you do something stupid, excessively interesting, or just plain weird during the coming weeks, it’s fodder for the novel. Nothing is sacred.
- Coffee. Coffee is novelist fuel. Bring me coffee, or offer to watch my laptop while I run to the ladies room.
- I will be social during NaNoWriMo, so don’t let me wuss out because I’m “working” on my “novel”.
If you plan to join in, let me know so we can buddy up through the site. I’m also available for WIPing — particularly on the weekends.
