NaNoWriMo

November is National Novel Writing Month and I'm going to give it a shot again this year. Last year was my first time participating and I fizzled out around the 16,000 word mark. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days as that is the standard amount required for a fiction manuscript submission.

I'm attempting to write a cozy mystery with a librarian amateur sleuth as the main character.  I am going to revive the one I started last year and try to revamp and continue it. So far I've only re-read the first chapter and I'm wondering what I was thinking because it is all written in the first person. I'm going to be changing it all to a third person narrative and perhaps I'll like it more. Either way, I'm looking forward to revisiting my long abandoned novel attempt and see where it goes.

Everyone who's ever said to themselves "I could write that" or "I should write a book about this" should take on the 30 day challenge!
