Yesterday marked the deadline for round two of the flash fiction contest. I'm fairly certain I won't make it to round three. My genre for this round was crime caper. Mysteries are so not my forte. I gave it my best effort, but I'm not very optimistic about advancing.
As you many know, November is National Novel Writing Month, or Nanowrimo. I'm hoping to begin planning an outline for this year's novel. I went in with a rough outline last year, and it made reaching 50k so easy.
I've fallen out of a daily writing habit, so I'm hoping to find my writing rhythm again before November hits. A target goal of 1667 words per day is daunting if you aren't accustomed to writing daily. I need to work on that.
If you've never heard of Nanowrimo, you should check out this site.
