Hello NaNoWriMo

It's that magic time of year again, folks. I don't mean the countdown to Christmas, though it is my favorite holiday. The madness that is National Novel Writing Month is upon us. While I should probably have started the sequel to last year's novel, I decided instead to start something new. I just wasn't feeling my Neverland vibe this year.

I find myself writing another YA book. It seems to be my go to when I plot ideas. I'm not sure what this says about my maturity level. Or attention span, really, as YA novels are usually a bit shorter than adult fiction.

A lot of authors offer advice and pep talks as the month wears on. Here's a link to a fun one from Chuck Wendig. If you've never read his blog, give it a look. He's got a potty mouth, but there's a lot of fun posts there.

So, I'm ready to make all the mistakes and get everything wrong. Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have another rough draft of a novel ready to go.
