Celebrating All Things Spooky 2024 has come to an end, with a close race to the finish for this year’s contest. The winners are in the process of being notified, and that means it’s now time to talk about NaNoWriMo.
Or, in this case, what I’m calling Personal WriMo.
I’ve decided not to use the actual NaNoWriMo site this year, so instead I’ve set up a personal word count tracker right here on my site. You’ll be able to see my progress throughout the month by checking this post.
(I may put it in the header if I can get it to play nice with my Operation Backlog Completion progress bar. We shall see.)
This year, I’ve decided to work on short stories throughout the month, so I technically won’t be writing a novel. However, the overall goal is still the same – 50,000 words to be written in the month of November. I’m especially hoping to get some new pulp fiction stories written.
Speaking of my stories, I mentioned at the start of October that I hoped to bring my Lovecraftian horror novella The Book at Dernier to additional retailers, and I’m happy to say I got that done. You can now buy the ebook copy at multiple places, including Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.
All right, that’s all I have to say about my writing for now… and don’t worry, we will definitely be talking about the exciting Xenoblade Chronicles X news on Monday!
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo or an equivalent event this month?
Ugh, so many mixed feelings about NaNoWriMo. I decided to give the official website a shot, also as a way to see if I can gather any strays in my local area to try to write with me. But I’m also trying to finish an existing story plot instead of starting something new, but I’m also tired and my motivation is shot, so will see what happens xD
Good luck! You can do it!
