NaNoWriMo 2020

I don't really know what got into me, but I signed up for NaNoWriMo 2020. It's a cool site and I got my first badge and diploma for doing the tutorial. If you're used to the WritingML of WdC then it's easy to navigate their site.

It starts Sunday, November 1st, and ends November 30th. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. That's a close 1675 words per day. Oops!

I've signed in for "NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon"  [ASR] to monitor the process.

I've prepped a little making a folder for Appropriate Time, which is the title of my new novel.

Plot and Outline:

A space-opera (adventure Sfi) story about the nature of loneliness. It kicks off inside a dream with a chase through the stars.

The year 2541. People don't really communicate in this dark society anymore. They are scared and lonely avoiding any contact. Assassin Cuin doesn't care for anybody or anything in the world. He gets an assignment to kill funny swindler Thruce who is considered a threat to the system because he makes people think and laugh while robbing them blind. But who's a threat to whom and who's got the last laugh?

The protagonist and the second character, as well as the setting and the antagonists, are known to me.

But that's about it.

I am already a little apprehensive, 3 days before the event. I hope I will succeed in meeting my daily goals. As long as I try and keep remembering to have some fun, then I am good to go.

I don't think I will be begging for sponsors though, too awkward considering it's my first time trying to write that many words.

A novel! Who would have thought? I hope I am ready!
