National Novel Writing Month
Not that I had time for it this year, what with the election and all (a bumper crop of election-related stories is coming to the paper next week, starting with a chopped-up and cleaned-up version of the story we posted Tuesday night as part of our all-day coverage), but I totally forgot that National Novel Writing Month was this month.
I have two “serious” books I’m still doing research on (one of them a memoir of someone I haven’t yet broached the subject with, oops), but I figure next year, I might as well knock out “The Unicorn Hunter” for NaNoWriMo. As Peter can ruefully attest, knocking out 50,000 words in itself isn’t a daunting task for me. (Creating a novella good enough to be published in, say, the very literary Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, though, that’s another question entirely, especially since it’s been at least 10 years since I submitted any of my fiction to a publisher.)

Wow, I never even knew there was such a thing. I’ve only written one novel in my life– a graphic novel (over 250 pages in MS Word!)– but I want to write another one. I keep seeing everything like television show, or a comic, so I’m finding it hard to write a “proper” novel. Good luck with your book, dude!
