NaNoWriMo

Well, I’ve decided to take the plunge and enter my first NaNoWriMo, which is National Novel Writing Month in November. www.nanowrimo.org. The goal is to write at least 50,000 words by the end of the month. For those of us who love to write, we can hardly wait. A co-worker friend of mine convinced me to dive in earlier this week, which doesn’t give me much time to prepare. However, I’ve been assured by her that I won’t go to Writer’s Jail if I don’t reach my 50K goal, and neither will she, if she doesn’t get there, either.

Woo-Hoo! It’s going to be a ride. But, this also means that I won’t be heard from for a month. Never fear, I will let you know how this works out. http://tinyurl.com/yl23mvk is my Sponsorship page, if you would like to donate to supporting writing for children and adults. This is a non-profit organization whose focus is to encourage writing. 100% of every donation goes to this organization. Such a worthy goal. For more information, please click on the link, above.

I do have the beginning of an outline developed, so far. I hope to have it better organized by Saturday night. I am really looking forward to this. I know it won’t be easy, but I have lots of support from my family and friends, and especially from my husband, as he will basically just see me typing away in the chair next to him, and that’s about it.

What better than doing something we love! See you on the other side. Or, better yet, come join the fun!!!
