NaNoWriMo

I wasn't sure whether to write about the allotment today or about my writing.. as you can see below 'writing' won out...

Today being November the First the Annual nanowrimo challenge has begun, and today I have started writing the sequel to my children's novel.  At the moment I have written just 1,747 words, above the day's goal and well on my way. I was a bit worried about the story flowing, but so far so good. I had an initial idea and it's growing. I just hope it continues to do so during the month. If you're a follower of my Writey-Ho blog I may just be posting the occasional snippet up there during the month....

Here's how the stats stack up at the moment... (one of my writing buddies has already written over 7000 words!)


Talking of Writey-Ho I have even made time to post a short story up there today too. A bit of a cliff-hanger as usual, but a story that as soon as I started to tap away on the keys virtually wrote itself. I do like the 'tales of the unexpected style of writing' -leaving my readers keen for more.  you can find today's post here:  FRUIT. 

And for those of you patiently waiting on 'The Quest for the magic Key' I can tell you that once I have the cover design back from Alan I shall be sending it for publishing... Hopefully you should be able to get a copy before Christmas.

      Thank you, and to you too.
      My 7000 word buddy has only written so many as she is unlikely to be able to write anything during the next week having started a new job. Still it is an amazing feat for the first day

      Thanks Andrea. Happily I'm enjoying the experience again, and am in the flow.
      The Nanowrimo software is great -really motivating as I see the numbers increase.
