Kudos to you writers who are participating in Nano (National Novel Writing Month). You are half way there…days wise anyway. Are you half way through your novel?
Nano is a challenge to writers to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Rather than just meeting the challenge, some write a 100,000 word novel or three 20,000 word short stories to win the challenge. I on the other hand never made it to 50,000 words. I told my story in half that amount. But by joining Nano I learned how to approach writing a novel.
I am happy to say the short novel I wrote in Nano 2007 will be published in March 2011 by Muse It Up Publishing. Sunshine Boulevard, a mystery/horror ebook, is my debut. Needless to say I am geeked up about that! It was so much fun to develop this genre for readers.
The story takes place in Florida at a retirement community. Someone or something is killing the seniors on Sunshine Boulevard. Check out my author website for more info on the book.
I know this time of the month the going gets tough for Nano participants. Just keep at it. Perseverance. Determination. Lots of coffee and chocolate and you will be a winner!
