Dear Shell,
Well I did it. I signed up for the Nanowrimo Challenge. What is the Nanowrimo Challenge you ask? Well, it's a commitment to write a novel in one month. 50,000 words minimum. The challenge starts on November 1st, and participates cannot start writing on the novel until that day. We can figure out characters, plot, outline, but cannot actually start writing the novel until Nov 1st.
Participates have until November 30th at midnight to hit 50,000 words. If I understood it correctly, winners receive a logo they can use on their stationary/etc from Dec 1st until Oct 31st the next year.
No editing is to be done through the month of November, just write, write, write. Editing comes after the November 30th deadline when the challenge is done.
I have a storyline figured out I think. I have character names and some descriptions started, the plot mostly figured out and a synopsis done. It's in the fantasy genre, and we'll see how it goes. J said that he would help with figuring out any battle scenes that I decide to put in (ideas, etc).
Wish me luck!
Shell
