It’s the End of the World As We Know It
NaNoWriMo—National
Novel Writing Month—begins today, as it has each year since 1999 on November 1.
I tried to write a 50,000-word novel in one month several years ago, and didn’t
make the count. This year, however, I have a plan. I have a plot. I have
characters who have names.
I
have a name: It’s the End of the World As
We Know It. However, that will change. I love R.E.M., but they won’t love
me after they realize I’ve snatched their song title. For the time being, I’ll
use it only as a working title.
Yes,
I know that serious authors don’t need NaNoWriMo to get in their 1,000+ words a
day. I do, because I’m a serious author who wants to get more serious.
Accountability is good, so I'm letting my family and friends know what I'm up to. I’m off to a bright start with 1,173 words the morning of
day 1, and I will write more this evening. I’ll post an update a week into the challenge on
November 8 and let you know how the world is progressing.
