That’s right, folks! Just one more month until November, which we all know and love as National Novel Writing Month. I’m actually really excited for this year! I’m living in a bigger city which just might mean I actually get out to some pretty cool write-ins.

I have two stories I have been toying with so this months plan is to pick one and come up with at least part of an outline. In a perfect world I will actually have it really fleshed out (which for either story there is no excuse not to as they’ve both been floating around in my head for upwards of four months) so I go into each day of November knowing what I’m going to write.

For anyone who may not know yet… National Novel Writing Month is actually an international event where writers from all over the world each work to write their own 50,000 word novel in 30 days. There are no winners, and no prizes. Just a really rewarding experience with a great community. Plus, it’s a perfect writing kick in the pants for those of us (me! me!) who need it sometimes.

Are you participating in Nano this year? Do you have something planned already or are you winging it?
