NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH - NANOWRIMO UPDATE
Yesterday, November 1st, I began the challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel. I remember doing this in November 2016 and even though it was a challenge it was also great fun, so I'm expecting to enjoy this experience as well. And here's the badge from the organisers to prove I'm on the way.
My greatest challenge is to write without editing. I find myself editing email before pressing send and text messages as well. In fact I've been known to send a second text if the phone has changed a word......ggrrr.
Yesterday ended well with 1677 words registered on the NaNoWriMo site. With everything that's happening this weekend it will fun getting some words on paper, it will mean playing catch up over the following days.
Tomorrow, Saturday November 3rd I'll be at Phillip Island partnering on an outside broadcast with David from 3mFM Community Radio. Phillip Island are celebrating 150 years...should be fun. Getting up at 5.00am to arrive on site in time won't be fun... 😍
I'll report in as often as I can over the rest of this month, given that most of the words I'll be writing will be for the 50,000 challenge.
You will definitely hear from me after the Awards dinner for the Sisters in Crime Scarlett Stiletto Short Story Competition on November 24th.
