I’ve heard\/read about the National Novel Writing Month in the past. In fact I’ve seen several of the novels written during previous years<\/a> on Amazon.<\/p>\n

While I’m just hearing\/seeing things about this years “competition” I think I’m going to join in this year. I’ve started two novels in the past and neither of them made it much further than 1 chapter. I think I got too caught up in the plot development to really write much of anything.<\/p>\n

Either way, the goal for the NaNoWrMo is to write one 175-page novel (at least 50,000) words. There’s a Write-A-Thon on Nov 15th, but Laurie and I will be at a marriage retreat that weekend – so I guess I’ll have to schedule mine another time.<\/p>\n

Hopefully this time around I can be spurred on to bring a novel to completion and see it published (self-published if nothing else). I’ll keep you all posted either here or on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now with 5 days before the competition begins – what in the world should I write about?! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
