For those of you who know me, you will remember that I participate in the National Novel Writing Month, during November of each year. This year will be my fifth "NaNo". To commemorate the event, I invite you to follow along on the special "NaNo 2009" Blog I will be writing. The novel this year is the second volume in the "Grand Organ Mysteries", and is tentatively titled "The Salt Lake Concert (Opus II)".

 

The goal of NaNo is to write 50,000 useable words for a novel (about 175 pages). My goal is to create sufficient new words to fill up my 2010 editing schedule. Unfortunately, I have several other projects "in the bucket" at the moment, many of which have nothing to do with writing new words. Instead of my usual deflection away from all other activities during November, these words will come in addition to all other projects. It promises to be a Grand adventure, for sure.

 

If you are a writer who has never experienced the chaos of NaNo, click on the link and check it out. You have nothing to lose (but your sanity), and it is a really fun activity.  If you want to follow along my journey through this year's event, just click on the link and mark the Blog as a Favorite. Otherwise, stay tuned for more information.
