THE COUNTDOWN FOR NANOWRIMO 2007

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

The voters decided...

Looks like I'll be writing Black Rabbit 2 - I've already names it: Return to Black Rabbit Island.

Not a very exciting title!

Anyway, I have the story idea but not a plot as such, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE DAY TO GO!!!

Guess I better get working on it!

Thanks for voting, voters!

SO WHICH WILL IT BE?

So which story will I write during November?

I've decided to take up the suggestion of having a poll. Although I can't guarantee to do the one that is suggested (inspiration may fail me!!), I'd love to see what other people think!

So please vote!

Thanks!

50,000 words about - what??????

Okay, so I probably will go ahead and do Nanowrimo this year - to add to my pile of unpublished novels (2 co-authored, 4 completed/drafted in the last 18 months, 2 others written twenty years ago!!!), but the question remains - what will I write about?

Option 1 - the third book in the Lucky & Witch Rose series? (It took me over three months to write the second book! Much longer for the first one, of course :) )

Option 2: The next Lottie book - see where that goes.

Option 3 - My Biffie story, a horror set in the West of Ireland, started but didn't get too far last year (or was it the previous year?)

Option 4 - it has been suggested that I write a sequel to last November's Black Rabbit Island.

Option 5 - something totally different.

I think it comes down to time, rather than plot ideas. I need to do my MOS exams and find a job, let alone talk to Squidgey about Christmas...

NANOWRIMO 2007 - WHY?

The big question is why do Nanowrimo this year?

Last year, although it nearly killed me, I reached the targeted 50,000 words in twelve days. A lot of that success was due to Inkpot, our ML, with whom I did plenty of word wars. It will be difficult to do the same this year as she will be in a different time zone - 12 hours ahead!

So why do it this year?
