NaNoWriMo Here I Come!

This year, I have one serious goal for myself:  Write 50,000 words or more in November as part of NaNoWriMo.  I am putting a lot of effort in October in getting myself prepped for it (as a part of "October Novel Prep Challenge" ), so that I feel confident in knowing what I am writing come November.  I have, for years, wanted to take part of NaNoWriMo, but have either been too busy or forgotten about it or not remembered early enough in October to be able to satisfactorily prep myself ahead of time.  I know I am not a "write-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" type of girl; I know I need to do substantial prep in order to actually write a novel.  And 50,000 words is a novel, no questions asked.  This year, I've dropped a lot of my extracurricular activities, narrowed down what I spend my time doing, and made sure I have the time to work on writing with a serious focus.  I WILL do this.  And I'm looking forward to it.

So far, I've kept up with my Prep work, doing a little bit of work each day.  I really like my story idea, and hope I can pull it off.
