National Novel Writing Month

So starting yesterday was the first day of the National Novel Writing Month or whatever (preferably called NaNoWriMo online, google it if you wish). Anyway, I have planned to actually try to do this challenge since it seems to be not exactly a whole lot more than what I was trying for in past months. Here’s the quick facts:

Goal: 50,000 word novel
Ends: December 1st at 12:01 AM

In other words, write a book in one month that is at least 50,000 words in length. I think I can do it and so I’ve decided to try for it. I will be putting down my other book for the time being and setting out to see if I can accomplish this task of a full book in the month’s time.

What this does not mean is that I am done with Broken Falls (the other book I’ve been working on). I made a promise that I would finish that novel by the end of the year and I plan to stick to that, with much of the final chapters works being done in the next month. So to my friends that are reading that book, do not be discouraged that it has made the shelf like anything else I have written, just know that it has been put on hold for exactly one month and then I will finish the first story in the series. Also, I don’t think I could stop writing that book since I can’t seem to get the ideas out of my head.

The rules will be much like when I started writing my other book for this new one:
  1. Words only count for writing in that book
  2. Chapter names count towards the total word count
  3. Notes do not count towards the total
  4. Friends that ask to read it may receive the piece chapter by chapter
And just for good luck, I’m playing this story out with a comedy sort of feel to everything. In other words, expect things to be strange and interesting, hopefully pulling a smile to your face. So let me set the counter to zero and get started writing!

Words for the Novel: 0 / 50,000
Total Chapters: 0

Also, I made one final graffiti that I thought I would post. Its kind of weird for me, but I like it. I don't know exactly what it was suppose to be either, but the main idea was like a plant and bubbles or something and it just didn't come out to look like anything except abstract artwork. Oh well.
