Every November is National Novel Writing Month (as I understand it). I have never participated, though it seems a good way to get feedback and encouragement and see the process through to the end.
I doubt I will sign up and be an official participant, but I need to get back on the writing horse. My job held me back quite a bit this year, though I still should have persevered. My last day at the job was yesterday. I do not have another one lined up yet, despite many applications being on the internet. I am very hopeful for one in particular.
The point is I need to write; and I need to write a novel. While I will not participate in the official NaNoWrMo, I will try to get one written this month. 50,000 words seems to be a common goal, and that should be a good length for a Sword & Sorcery novel.
I may put the chapters here, I may put excerpts instead; we’ll see. I will put some ideas down here in the next few days anyway.
