I'll be there again this year. Last year I finally managed to make the 50k mark for the 1st time. I don't know if my effort from last year will ever be publishable but it was interesting. I got off to a slow start and finished up with 50,074 words in 28 days. I hope to do better this year with more planning than I did with last years project. I don't know if I would want to try doing two at once myself, but I can see the advantages if you can. If one bogs down for the day you can always work on the other one. I go by CBrentner over at NaNo. Not very imaginative I know, but at least it's easy to remember. lol.

The last one has a special meaning and I can't wait until it's finally finished. Officially, #3 will be my NaNo because it helped me get my act together in the past several years. And for whatever reason, when I do anything NaNo-related, my output triples. Beyond the Black was written in a little under two weeks for last year's NaNo. It was mostly crap, but it still was finished.
Then, during my writing group's JuNo, I finished Into the Hills in 30 days.
So, I'm hoping that with NaNo I'll be able to complete the project, shoot it off to a couple of friends for a quick lookie-do, then shoot it out to LuLu for a copy to give my uncle for the holidays.
Maybe I'll do the same thing with the other two books I've completed and give it to 'em in a gift basket. 
Hopefully by that time, it'll be four.
Last year we had....*checks his NaNo friends* 10 from MobileRead on there. I'm hoping for a similar showing this year. |
