Last November's NaNoWriMo was so much fun, I'm doing it again, and who has time to wait for November to come around again? A few of us are planning to do our own Novel Writing Month in March. Tuesday, we start binge-drafting novels, and everyone is welcomed to join us in an effort to prod each other into finally getting that novel out of our heads and onto a drive. NaNoWriMo sets a universal goal of 50,000 words in 30 days. 50,000 words seems like a lot, but my 50,003 worked out to only 83 pages, which is slim pickings for a novel. Honestly, once you really get into creating characters and a compelling conflict, 50K is not that much. For March, I'm shooting for between 50,000 and 60,000 words, giving me a nice round goal of 2,000 words per day. Goals will probably vary.
If there is interest, I'll set up a team blog where everyone can post their goals and progress. Email perspectives@savepenguins.com if you want in on the team blogging for Novel Progress.
