NaNoWriMo

For me personally, my own first venture into writing was fraught with fear and anxiety- that is, until I found an article about Nanowrimo by Michelle L. Devon on AC. Her terrific enthusiasm is contagious, I guess, and before I knew it, November was nearly over and I had my very first publishable novel, Whispered Dreams by Olivia Faulkner. After having it professionally edited, a small publisher picked it up, and I began working on my next novel. In the midst of that writing, my husband and I decided that so many of the other writers we know might want a publisher who didn't jack them around the way we'd heard so often, and with Ms. Devon's assistance, we started Caged Heart Publishing, but none of that would have happened if I hadn't happened upon her Nanowrimo article in the first place, lol!

This November will be my 4th time entering. I've never won. My previous entries include a novel about a 10-year-old crytozoologist (someone who tries to prove mysterious animals like Bigfoot exist), one about an unexpectedly pregnant disabled woman, and the last was about an newly disabled person who's girlfriend is already disabled. I have a great idea this year. I'm going to win; I can't wait for November.

I heard about NaNoWriMo a few days ago from a fellow mylotter. I recently rediscovered my love for writing and decided to join this year's NaNoWriMo. I know it's insane but I thought, since I am so bored with my life right now,and felt kinda lost I might as well go berserk all the way and challenge myself to do what I have never done before , write 50,000 worth of words. In the process of doing this I wish only two things 1) is that whatever I write will make sense and 2) that I get to reach that 50,000 word count. Wish me luck!!!
