It happens every year. And in about a week, you can go to the NaNoWriMo website and enter for 2009.I know it seems early, but it's definitely time to start thinking about November if you're planning to participate. Even if you're just considering it, you should start thinking about it in October. Give yourself time to think about what you're going to write, perhaps do some research, or even come up with an outline to use. (Some writers like to be prepared like that.)
So to help you prepare for the adventure that is National Novel Writing Month, October's editions of Fiction Friday will be spent offering advice about preparation. Outlining, character biographies, how to make time to hit word counts, etc. And by November 1st, you'll be ready!
So the only question is...
Are you in?
Oh, heck no! Not again. Me and my novel are going to spend a nice, quiet winter alone, without word counts and deadlines looming over our heads.
ReplyDeleteBut we'll be cheerleading all you lot who're crazy and brave enough to tackle NaNo once again!
Totally in. I need another unfinished manuscript for my pile. Hoping it'll make up for the mess I made last year. Woohoo!
