For those of you who don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. For the month of November, writers challenge themselves to complete a 50,000 word novel.
I’ve done it for several years now, with results that range from me finishing up an 80,000 word novel ahead of the deadline to scraping by with a 50,000 word disaster at the very end.
Last year was the latter, because I barely had an idea going into November, but this year I’m more confident in my story. This year’s NaNoWriMo project is a fantasy novel with a loose retelling of The Little Mermaid that involves an eldritch artifact being taken from the bottom of the ocean.
I’m already over 13,000 words and I have a good idea of where I want the story to go next, so things are looking good.
What about you? Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this year?
This is my 9th year, and I am thankful for all the encouragement you’ve given me all the years. Wouldn’t be where I am today with my writing without you!
You’re welcome! 🙂 I’m glad.
