NaNoWriMo is a somewhat imperfect acronym for
National
November
Writing
Month.
Starting on November 1
st,
victims participants start work on a 50,000 word novel, the goal being to complete said novel on or before 11:59 PM EST on November 30
th of the same year. I have a small head start, which I will desperately need if I actually hit the target date for completion. Use of a pocket calculator will reveal that the minimum word count per day is 1,666; but that's the
minimum. If I'm actually going to make this, I have to produce around 2000. This is not an easy task, but it's possible.
My novel is entitled
The Making of Magic, and is a prequel to the anthology
Magic for Hire. If you haven't read the anthology, you can buy
Magic for Hire on Amazon. Splurge a little, and know that for every copy you buy, you're supporting a starving artist living in an unheated garret with a leaky roof and bad lighting.
And so, to work.
I am probably going to buy it, WL - I just have to read through a slug of book I currently have on my plate.
ReplyDeleteIs there a sequel to Murder One in the works? I hope so; I will probably be badgering you for a sequel to this one too once I get around to reading it...
