This is how I'm going to be spending my copious free time this month -- writing my first novel ... November is National Novel Writing Month http://www.nanowrimo.org/ You can still sign up until like the last week of Novemeber.. so it isn't too late, it's only the second day of November!

What: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time.

Who: You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.

Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from your novel at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.

When: Sign-ups begin October 1, 2005. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.

DeLarla -

You are so TOAST.... :mad:

No toast for me... makes me PB

Managed to get in about 2400 words last night. If I keep up this pace then I will certainly have the 50K in no time. LOL!!

ok, i've always wanted to write a novel too - but haven't decided on what kind - fiction or non...............so what are the topics of your'alls novels? What are you writing about?

Wellllllllllllllll,

I've been so busy working on "Havenwood II" that I haven't actually written any in the NaNoWriMO novel. But I know what it is going to be.

Synopsis (very):

An antiques dealer, who possesses the psychic ability to "read" the antiques he touches must use that gift to solve the murder of another dealer who is his friend. In doing so he learns that he was unknowingly involved in his friends murder. As he unravels the mystery he discovers that he has been betrayed and he must come to grips with the feelings that arise in himself as he learns that this friend he is avenging wasn't much of a friend at all.

So far almost 5500 words. My title is "How do you get the crap off?" Cool title huh? Anyone care to venture on that the book is about?
