Happy Hallowe’en all. October was busy. What with work and building, (and, dead-tired exhaustion) there was barely time to blog. I’m working on it. But tomorrow starts November. What can I say? November is NaNoWriMo. It’s National Novel Writing Month. Bear with me; I’ll still blog. But the challenge is on to write nearly 1,700 words a day for thirty days. At the end (if past performance is any measure) I’ll still be 50,000 words short of a novel, but I’ll be well on my way! I am so into this, that I gave a pep-talk workshop two weeks ago, at our local library. I still have some October blogs up my sleeve, and I can always take photos. No matter what, I’ll be there again at the end of the ordeal. It’s time to finish novel number three, my Michigan novel. How about you? Anyone up for the challenge?
Past Challenges= The Emma Caites Way and The Gift of Guylaine Claire
Current Challenge= The Trial of Trudy Castor

No NaNo for me. November is always such a busy month for me. But I wish you the best of luck with it!

I know! Why’d they put it in November, anyway? Don’t they know about Thanksgiving!?

I’m impressed. It sounds like it really works for you. I have 3 books, done, I need to get published. Then, I may try NaNoWriMo to kickstart my next. Good luck!

I confess, I never “win” the NaNo challenge. I get close, but, so far, never 50,000 words. But it gets me started enough that I keep going. This year I’m really going to push for the challenge–hopefully, amassing extra words early so that Thanksgiving doesn’t undo me.

Maybe some of your NaNoWriMo writings can make it to the blog. I’d be curious to see some of what you come up with.

The Trial of Trudy Castor is the story of a speakeasy singer in 1931 Detroit. It lets me use some of my grandfather’s exploits as a rumrunner and the history of the Detroit/Windsor area where I grew up. There’s a good bit of spontaneous research in it, and, were it not for the arduous daily word count, I could easily become lost in the fun of the research. I doubt that much will make it into the blog.

No NaNo for me. Every year I think ‘next year’ but I’m always too busy. Best of luck with it! 😀

I think I will be home all of five days this month. No Na Mo for me either. But write, write, write! –Curt

Good luck! Go for it. I have no desire to write a novel but I am happy to encourage anyone to go for any inner wishes. Amelia
