Good afternoon, readers!
It's October 29th, I just finished my first read through of Dance for You, and I've already had six Reese's peanut butter cups, so you know what that means! Nanowrimo is just around the corner! Nanowrimo: National Novel Writing Month, or November. I've participated two previous years, with varying success. I've never managed to write 50,000 words in a month, as is the goal, but one year I did finish writing at 35,000 word novella, which is around the length of most of my books. This year, I have a plan and focus, though, so fingers crossed I'll be getting my first real win. The plan: Write Waiting for You in its entirety. It should come in around 32-35k so that leaves 15-18k leftover. As I would like to write an actual 50k this year, I'll be starting Only You towards the end of the month. That way, I can win Nano (woohoo) and get a jump on writing Only You since December will be insanely busy. (Christmas and my daughter is turning three four days before Christmas). I am lucky to have a supportive writing group that also participates in Nano so we can follow each other on the site ( nanowrimo.org ) and motivate each other to stay on top of our word counts. There are two types of Nano writers: planners and pantser. I tend to be somewhere in the middle. I have a plan. I know my characters, what makes them tick, and I have some of the conflict figured out. But, I do like to leave some writing to be figured out by the seat of my pants. It makes writing a little more interesting. That way, even I can be surprised! I'll try to stay on top of a blog post a week during Nano, but if I fall by the wayside, you'll know why. Wish me lucky crafting a sexy, love story for Lincoln! He deserves his happy ending ;) Love always, Lucy
