NANOWRIMO 2008!
Ah, the fun of reading. Hey, wouldn't it be fun to write a book...in a month?It's only two weeks until National Novel Writing Month 2008! For those of you, not in the know - it's where you write a 50,000 world novel in November.
It's completely worth doing, whether you have writing aspirations or not. There's just something about a challenge...that makes you feel oh so good after you complete the "impossible." And, it's not impossible, I've finished two other novels. This will be my third. You too can do it! Just start writing! All you have to do is put 50,000 words together on a page. I mean, think how much you text every day and comment on facebook/myspace AND use those words in your novel!
I'm pretty excited this year. My first year, I wrote a Harlequin Romance. Super fun...and the story went totally crazy. My second year, I wrote a Teen Slasher book in the vein of RL Stine's Fear Street series. This year, I'm writing a straight up young adult novel about life in high school, sort of a Sixteen Candles meets Welcome to the Dollhouse. Fun, excitement! And, yes, I'm a bit of a geek, but what are you doing in November? Eating turkey? Write a novel!
