Here we go, here we go, here we go....

This years Nanowrimo or National Novel Writing Month is underway.  I completely missed yesterday, which left me playing catchup.  I have now caught up doing a little over two days targets counts in one day.  My novel is a fantasy story which gives you great scope for making stuff up without having to do too much actual research.  The main character is a boy, who has an unhappy upbringing.  No he doesn't have a zigzaggy scar, or a letter carrying owl.  I don't know quite what adventures he will get up to, but be sure they will be unrealistic, especially for a boy his age.  I don't have any doubt I will reach the designated 50k target, and with any luck I might actually draw the story to a conclusion, or at least to an acceptable cliff hanger.

Here we go again....

We've broken the back of October, which can only mean one thing.  in a couple of weeks All Saints day will be the start of a month where all wordy loving crazy people can sit, bend their brains to creating a short novel in thirty days.  Nanowrimo is nearly here.  I am doing it again this year!  There, I've said it.  It feels so good to get that out of my system. One thousand, six hundred and sixty sevenish words a day is all it takes to reach the target for this challenge.  My aim for this year is to actually finish the book, as well as reaching the target wordcount.  Wish me luck!
