It's official. I'm writing a novel in the month of November. I have 25 days to go through the piles and piles of notes I've been keeping, fact check my timeline, and organize my thoughts all while packing up and moving. Yay.
Alas, the NaNoWriMo 2015 project waits for no one. From November 1st through November 30th, I have to write a 50,000 word first draft. I might be insane to choose my far more complicated plot idea, which will require historically accurate facts and will likely exceed 50,000 words, as opposed to the simpler-to-write story that I have been working on for over 5 years. But I'm taking advantage of the built in childcare I will have this November (thanks family!) to attempt the more complicated tale.
One of the first steps to this project is to announce my intention, so that I will be subjected to the well deserved mockery of everyone who reads this should I fail. So here it is. I'm writing a novel this fall. If you see me around, ask how many words I have written so far. Chase me back into my cave with a lit torch until I have written an acceptable number of words.
And so, I begin my journey towards becoming a caffeine-addled penmonkey!
