NaNoWriMo New and Old

1 November 2010 | Filed Under NaNoWriMo 

Today marks the beginning of NaNoWriMo 2010!

As this post goes up, I am frantically writing Chapter One of my latest novel, Shadows, Echoes, and Reflections. My writing and comicking friends are all over for our very own Launch Party. I’m betting it’s super fun over there…

Today also marks the one year anniversary of The Narrator. We’ve come so far since last November! Two drafts, a complete redirect mid-manuscript, and a pile of critiques from my writing group to polish up the third draft. I’m so proud of you, Calder and gang. Here’s to publication! *toasts*

So this year’s NaNoWriMo should be three times as hard, since I have that much less free time. Tune in every Friday for a NaNoWriMo-Novel-Friday-Post (or NaNoFriPo) for a run-down of successes, failures, and interesting stories I collect along the way.

And if you’re also doing NaNo, good luck!

    Hi, I'm Jenn, new grad student and old YA fantasy writer. I've long dreamed of being a novelist, and I bet you have too. I hope you find my blog helpful, inspiring, and maybe just a little bit fun. (But not too much fun. Writing is serious business, you know.)
