It's that time of year again. Time to dust off the cobblestones of my mind and bring out the ideas stirring in my head for a new novel. The NaNo challenge http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/3286025 - write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Yipers! This is how I got my last novel started though and I've been tweaking it out ever sense. It has gone from 50,000 words to over 70,000 words now. Slowly but surely, I am learning the steps to take, from plotting out the outline to developing the characters. It's exciting to see the twist and turns during the process of writing. Can hardly wait to see what's coming and how it all turns out. Of course, it's just a very rough first draft, but this writing challenge really gets my creative juices flowing. If you are an aspiring writer, then I encourage you to take this challenge and just try. You might not get a best seller or a book deal, but it is good practice either way.
