50,000 Words? Challenge Accepted

Well hey!

 
Most of you that are reading this probably want a quick & easy reason as to why you want to read—and keep reading—this blog. It’s quite simple:

I’m trying to complete the NaNoWriMo challenge among other challenges that I want to accomplish as a writer & editor.

What’s NaNoWriMo you ask? You can check out http://www.nanowrimo.org, but it’s a challenge to celebrate National Novel Writing Month. SO, the challenge is to write 50,000 or a novel (whichever comes first) during the month of November.

I want to post a bunch of cool stuff that I do to make this goal. AND, I feel like if the entire Internet comes together to hold me accountable for this goal, then I can’t back out or give up so easily can I!

In posts ahead, I’m going to divulge my ideas for the book I’m writing—because it isn’t just a word count; it’s an idea that took root in my brain like, two years ago and I’m taking the challenge so I can see the darn thing on paper for once. Yeah, that’s the prize—I get my own paperback copy! ONLY every author’s DREAM!

Does anyone have writing goals they want to accomplish? Have you ever wanted to write a book, and if so, what is it about? I hope to pass along ideas that I’ve used in keeping the dreams alive and having fun with writing. It’s a beast; but you can pet it like a kitten.
