For the month of November I may be scarce here at the blog.  For I’ll be working hard on reaching the target goal of 50,000 words in 30 days.  Last year I participated for the first time.  I was ill prepared, big time!  I came up with an idea a couple of days before the start.  Losing steam on where to go with the story I ended the month with 17,000 words.

This year I spent the month of October prepping.  Things like developing a daily writing habit to mapping out a rough sketch of my novel idea.  I’m what you would call a plantser.  A cross between a pantser and a planner.    Meaning I like a little spontaneity when it comes to writing along with a little planning.

Wish me luck!  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Anyone else out there participating?  Are you excited, ready, or none of the above?
