Writing

to see if there was a discussion of NaNoWriMo and as soon as I saw your subject line I knew it was going to be post about NaNoWriMo, lol.

I have had a couple of NaNoWriMo false starts. Last year I was traveling for part of November and was unable to make it work. The year before I actually started the month but there was a major interruption and the effort was abandoned. Things are different this year. For the first time in years I think November is going to be quiet enough for me to participate. Another difference this year is that NaNoWriMo isn't sneaking up on me like I usually allow it to do. Also, I have a story idea firmly developed in my head in a popular genre full of fans ready to snap up the latest story. I will use NaNoWriMo as the launching pad for the first in a six-part series for digital publication on Kindle, etc.

Indeed, I am not only ready for NaNoWriMo this time, I've even come up with a pseudonym and secured both Twitter and Facebook author pages as well as a registered domain. These will be the marketing channels for my NaNoWriMo effort.

All that's left to do now is to spend the remainder of this month researching, planning, and preparing for Nov 1. I plan to begin at 12am. 50,000 words. Whooo-boy!
