NaNoWriMo 2022 is Here!

With the arrival of November, Celebrating All Things Spooky is at an end until next year… and NaNoWriMo has begun.

If you’re unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, it stands for National Novel Writing Month, a challenge to write a 50,000-word novel in November.

As is my habit, I stayed up to get started at midnight. Right now, I have just over 5,000 words written of my new novel, so I’m off to a good start.

This year, I’m writing a comedy detective story about a man who decides to become a private detective in the belief that he’ll get simple cases, like finding a lost pet, only to get mixed up in a case far beyond what he ever prepared for.

The idea has been in my head for a while now, so I’m excited to finally start writing and see where it leads.

My writing also has faltered a bit this year, because I’ve been trying to edit a horror novel that just won’t cooperate., so it feels good to be working on a brand new novel again.

Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this year? Let’s all give it our best and get some novels written!
