Happy
Wednesday!
I’m still
doing my best to catch up on everything before November 1st. Not
everything will get done, but that’s okay. Nothing is so pressing that I can’t
squeeze in a few minutes to do it during November or wait to do it in December.
Also, in
November, I’ll be a bit slow getting around to everyone. Writing will come
first. But I’ll get to everything I can as time allows.
Okay, show of
hands, who is doing NaNoWriMo? Good and please be sure to leave your screenname
so I can add you as a buddy. I’m bookworm0753.
I’m doing
something rather crazy this year. I’m writing two novels for NaNo.

The first one
is Starred, a YA Contemporary. I’m
writing Starred very differently. For
one, there will be Acts and Scenes, although still written as prose instead of
stage directions/dialogue. Two, I’m writing it randomly. There are 30 scenes,
and I’m going to use Random.org to choose which two I’ll write a day. If I
finish two scenes early one day, I’ll go to the next random scene. My goal is
to finish Starred by November 15th
and hopefully have it be at least 50,000 words.

The second
novel is The Last Prophetess, a YA
Futuristic Fantasy. The Last Prophetess
takes place 3000 years after The Phoenix
Prophetess. Blame Apenth for giving me this crazy idea to write the two
novels. It’s all his fault. *winks* I plan to write this novel like I normally
do with chapters and consecutively. I haven’t figured out how many chapters
there will be yet, but I hope to finish it by November 30th and have
it at least be 50,000 words.
Yes, I know I’ll
have to bulk both novels up later, but the goal is to get both stories down. In
a month. Yeah. It may not happen, but I’m going to try. I’m looking forward to
it.
What’s the
fastest you’ve ever written a novel, i.e. first draft?
