October 30, 2011

November has come.

It's hard to believe, but October has come and gone already (and with it, Halloween and a whole month's worth of horror movies).  2011 is quickly coming to a close.  The whole year has been an interesting mix of ups and downs.  There has been little progress in terms of writing, sadly, but I am finding the motivation to work on my projects.

In fact, I plan on taking a little exercise in motivation quite soon.  I discovered that next month is National Novel Writing Month, so I decided to accept the challenge of writing a new novel from scratch and reach 50000 words by November 31st.  I've already got a cool new idea in mind, with a notebook's worth of designs and ideas.  It'll be a spacey sci-fi novel, and it's current working title is Exodus.  When November 1st hits, I plan on starting it off!

To facilitate this, I will be spending the next week on holiday.  Nothing like a relaxing laid-back excursion to the highlands to do some writing.

When the NaNoWriMo thing starts, I'll be sure to start posting excepts and a word count.  Stay tuned for more!
