It's NOVEMBER! The time of year many authors wait for, the challenge to write over 50,000 words in only 30 days. In 2008, that was how my novel came into being, and this year I'm going to give it a go again.
Does this mean that my first novel is finished?
No... we decided that we should see other novels for a little while.
This years novel is seductively beckoning to me from the back of my mind, begging me to play with it and unlock all kinds of secrets. My first novel was young and playful; I wrote with a YA audience in mind. This book is anything but YA, and it is going to take me places my other book couldn't go and give me leave to play with some of the more twisted aspects of my imagination.
This years NaNo should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I can get through the next 30 days without all of the drama I had with my first book. That novel has always been tempermental and we had all sorts of disagreements as to what direction to go, and what we should do.
So, it's time for me to buckle down and get to writing. This book and I are in for a good time over the next 30 days and I can't wait to get started.
