That's the question asked by "Touch," the NaNoWriMo novel I plan to write beginning November 1. NaNoWrimo is National Novel Writing Month, and the challenge is simply to write a 50,000 word novel in the space of thirty days. It doesn't have to be an award winner. It doesn't even have to be finished as of November 30. It just has to be 50,000 words long.
It's not hard to see that this is a huge challenge. And it comes at a time when I'll be very busy with work. I've taken on a very big contract which starts around November 8, plus, as it happens, November includes an extra production period for the newspaper I build, AND an issue of the quarterly magazine I do.
Whew! What have I gotten myself into!? Suffice to say, I'm going to need all the motivation I can get in order to park myself for at least two to three hours every day and write about 1,700 words.
That's where you come in. I figure if there's a bunch of people waiting to read my new output every day, I'll be motivated to get the job done and far less likely to give up half way through.
So, read the brief synopsis of the novel and, if you're interested, drop me a line and ask me to add you to my NaNo mailing list. Then, beginning November 1, you'll receive an email from me every day with that day's writing output. If I happen to miss a day here and there, you'll get more the next time (gotta keep up with the quota!)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
