50,000 words to go! National Novel Writing Month has begun! The goal is 50,000 words from November 1st to 30th (approximately 1,667 words/day) which equates to around 170-175 pages of text. My novel research has been coming along, my characters have taken on a life of their own, and now the story begins. The working title? TGAN, aka "The Great American Novel", what else? I am nothing if not a wishful thinker LOL!
I had planned to have some blog posts set up in draft mode to publish throughout this month so that this space would not go dormant. That did not happen. When the word count widgets are available from the NaNo site, I'll add that here and I may stop in from time to time, but if I don't post a lot, it is because my writing time here has been taken up by writing time there.
I've bought the extra coffee beans; the gourmet trail mix (actually got my favorite flavor--Archer Farms Dark Chocolate Espresso--on sale at Target!); the soup mixes (I can start it on a work break and let it cook without a lot of time consuming preparation); the extra printer ink/paper (and yes, the paper is from sustainable forests and has a 30% post-consumer recycled content. Check out Georgia-Pacific for more details; I get mine at WalMart for $3.97/ream and it is wonderful paper for everyday printing. It even stands up to duplexing in my HP without bleed-thru). Oops, back to my "supply list"...I also got an 8GB thumb drive and earphones for my laptop. I put my PaperBack Swap account on vacation and have a friend coming over today to help me clean up/reorganize my studio for maximum creativity. I'd really be set if I had Star Wars soundtracks to write by but they'll have to wait a bit (like until next payday).
Now for the words and inspiration...
