Lia Mack's 2010 NaNoMo Recap...

Well, it started off with a bang! And then fizzled into nothingness...

November is NOT a great month in which to attempt a 50K word start to a novel. Heck, it's not a great month to do anything extraordinary other than trying to quiet the nerves in preparation for December!

15K in two weeks. I think that's pretty incredible, personally ;). I would have had over 20K if I wasn't an editting freak while writing. I know, I know. The whole point of NaNoMo is to write, write, write and NEVER go back to edit and delete. Word count is all it's about. Only thing is, if I know in my hearts of hearts that the dialouge between my characters about someone's hair color isn't going to work/fit in the whole scheme of things, it's getting deleted. And fast!

But it was fun! I raced with a few writing buddies of mine to see who could write the most each day. One writing buddy surpassed her own goal of writing more than 100 words. I think she ended up with 18K! Woo hoo!

Now, back to editing my current novel. I have a deadline of my birthday, so I am off to the races! Then I'll work on Caught by the Sun when I'm done. Finish it up and start editing that so, for next NaNoMo I can start on my next novel...

Novel #3...a romance with paranormal aspects, but not exactly paranormal...more like psychological...and told from my main male charachter's POV! Should be fun. My two main charachters from that story idea are already tapping their toes, waiting for me to get them together.
