Now Playing: SCAR TISSUE by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Just Read: TRIPWIRE by Lee Child--LOVED the twist to this one, and thought the idea behind this story had endless potential. Very exciting book!
Reading Now: END OF WATCH by Stephen King
November was a busy month, even without doing NaNoWriMo!
I won NaNo last year, though the novel I wrote, called Star Struck, still isn't finished. I bet I still have another 20-25K words to go. I put it down to write a different novel, called Active Shooter, which I started in mid-July. I had been steady progressing on Active Shooter for months, but really kicked it into high gear in November.
Despite not starting a new project, just being surrounded by the NaNo community inspired me to write as much as possible. In November alone, I wrote about 20K words, and finished the first draft of Active Shooter at 85K words. Now, I'll let it sit for a while and take a step away from it to work on other projects, such as editing a story for Writer's of the Future submission this month, and maybe even trudging toward the completion of Star Struck, if I can find the energy.
And it's time to start thinking about what my 2020 goals are, too. The most productive year I've ever had was doing Write1Sub1, where I wrote and submitted one story per week for a year. I don't know if I have it in me to do that, but maybe two stories per month is manageable.
Lots to mull over! And definitely a lot of fun on the horizon.
