Today begins NaNoWriMo 2010 — National Novel Writing Month.<\/p>\n
I’m actually not going to participate this year, but I did think it would be a good month to set a goal for my writing. I will record how many words I write on my novel and my blogs, but I didn’t want to focus on a new novel this year. The fact is, I am getting very very close to having my work-in-progress ready to send out to agents and\/or editors. Now, the rewriting process is not one that causes a high word count, so I will probably not come close to 50,000 words.<\/p>\n
However, here is my goal for the month of November:<\/p>\n
Finish revising and rewriting my middle grade fantasy novel, The Mystical Mantle<\/em> and have it ready to send out.<\/p>\n It would also be nice to get more than 36,000 words written this month on my book and my blogs and set a new monthly record. However, it might be difficult to do that, since my divorce case is this month, and if our lawyers can’t reach an agreement, I’ll need to spend most of my free time for a couple weeks compiling the papers for the court case. I’m also hoping to maybe visit my family in California over Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n So — it’s not a good month for getting a lot of writing done, but on the other hand, nothing would boost my spirits more than finally finishing my book. (And I think it’s already much better than anything I’ve sent out before — maybe it’s finally my turn to get published…)<\/p>\n Even if I don’t meet my goal of finishing, I hope to be mighty close, and that will make me happy.<\/p>\n Write on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today begins NaNoWriMo 2010 — National Novel Writing Month.
