So, after putting down The Shadow Library and getting geared up for the next novel, I’ve also been planning to do NanoWriMo. Initially my plan was to do the 50,000 words NanoWriMo asks of its authors and then write the second half of my story in December.

Utilizing the remaining memories of what December as like last year I deem the chance of writing 50,000 words in December to be minimal. I think I’d be more likely to win a large cash prize of some sort. Or be savaged by a rabid wild boar.

So instead of hitting 50,000 words in November and December, I’m going to start NanoWriMo a month early and start my new novel today. I’m going to try to get a post up every few days to let you all know how it’s going.

I’m fairly sure this means I won’t be eligible to claim a win under NanoWriMo rules, but at the end of two months I’ll have another first draft to play with.

I think it’s worth it.
