NaNoWriMo - Any takers?

Well, tomorrow is officially the first day of National Novel Writing Month. I am once again embarking on the most amazing journey of writing a novel. Yup, a book. The goal is 50,000 words in 30 days. Last time I wrote, I did almost 62,000 in 29 days. :)

Truly, I love the process of writing a book from start to finish. It never ceases to amaze me how the characters truly take on their own journey and tell you, the author, where they should go and what they should do.

I am starting my book with a character called Amelie (like Emily but with an "A" - short vowel). If I had had another girl, I wanted to name her that. In any case, my book with be a historical/fantasy romance. Kind of a fairytale type. I am quite excited to see what happens.

Check back through the month for updates and to keep encouraging me. And if you want to join, please do! Click here for the official NaNoWriMo website. A special thanks for my friend Melissa who will be joining me too. :)

Happy writing!

I'm writing children's books this month...they'll be much shorter but the characters are fun. Tell Nia we're going to write a book together.
