Get Ready, Get set.... Almost NaNoWriMo time!

So tomorrow is the start of NaNoWriMo.

What is NaNoWriMo, I hear you ask.

Well NaNoWriMo stand for National Novel Writing Month and it happens every year during the month of November to encourage writers to write. (Possibly because the most of us procrastinate)

The aim is to write a 50,000 word novel in one month, that being the month of November.  On facebook there are a few support groups designed for this and writers groups who also support it including my own writer's group.

Last year  I tried, but only got out a mere 1300 words. Hmmmm...... Can I do better this year? I certainly hope so. I really am going to try for it this year. I havent signed up on the official website, but I am going to have a damn good go at it anyway. 50,000 words I am fairly sure I can do this in one month. Time will tell.

Not quite sure what I am going to write. I don't een have an idea which for me is unusual. I was thinking that I may write a horror thriller, something along the lines of zombies and ghouls, ghosts and such. That may be because it is halloween and I am influenced.

I may write a another romance story, I love romance stories. I think the world needs more of them, more love all around. It makes everyone feel good.

Perhaps I may do a children's crime and detective story, when I was little I loved reading mystery novels. Trixie Belden, Famous Five, Secret Seven, I even read Agatha Christie and I loved them all.  My son aged twelve, nearly thirteen is into shows at the moment that involve solving a crime and each time my dog disappears he looks for clues as to where his whereabouts might be.

So with less than twelve hours before NaNoWriMo begins, I am up in the air as to what I am going to write.

That is a mystery in itself!

Til next time

Happy Reading
