Anyone else out there participating in Nanowrimo this year?
For those who have no idea what this foreign word means, it's short for National Novel Writing Month, a month-long writing adventure that occurs annually in November, in which the goal is to write a 50,000-word novel. It isn't a contest, just a personal challenge. It's a ton of fun, and super frustrating, but it's also one of the best writing exercises you could ever do.
This will be my sixth Nanowrimo. I've failed to meet the 50,000-word mark only once, but I've failed to actually complete the novel beyond 50,000 words every year. (Thanks to hyper-planning one novel, I got within two scenes of finishing it in 50,000 words, but alas. So close yet so far.) That's become a more important goal to me than word count: to get to the end.
I'm not yet sure what I'll be writing this year. I've been toying with the vague idea of taking a classic tale and putting a horror spin on it, but nothing concrete yet.
