So this is November and what have I done?
Well, I've spent the better part of the month grading papers, working and trying to get in as many Nanowrimo hours as possible. And on Saturday I'll be making a turkey and celebrating Thanksgiving with my in-laws (plus trying to get in some Nanowrimo hours).
How's my Nanowrimo quest coming along? As of today, I am at the 30,000 word mark. Need to remember to update my "My Novel" page on the official Nanowrimo site.
And the saga of Liam and Naomi continues... if you're interested in reading it, skiddle-daddle on over to www.nanowrimo.org. You'll find me and my novel, See How They Shine For You, in the author search under the name "KimGM".
I've got too much to do today so I don't have time to write a long post.
This will have to do until next week when--hopefully--I will have more time (and energy) to write.
By the way, if you don't have the new Damien Rice CD...I order you to go to your nearest store and buy it. he and his band are Godhead.

First week of Nanowrimo
Five days into Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) and I'm really pleased with the progress I've made. I won't exaggerate and say that what I've written is stellar--it's all first draft and a very rough first draft at that--but I haven't written so much so quickly in a long time. With this in mind, this week's post will be short--I want to get back to the chronicles of Naomi and Liam (working title: See How They Shine For You) and what's in store for them.
My writing goal is 2000 words per day. So far, I am a little under that. At present (haven't updated it yet on the official site), I've got 9200 words. I should be at 10,000 already, but by the time I finish my daily dose of writing, I will have reached that goal.
My plot is pure Chick Lit/Romance. I wanted to write something fun and easy. And since the winter darkness is upon Stockholm, I want to fill my imagination with love, love, love so I can cruise into Christmas and then my birthday in January. If I like the end result, I'll revise it during Christmas vacation.
So this is my second foray into Nanowrimo and, hopefully, I'll be doing it again next year.
I love Nanowrimo!
