Did I say November?
The mug quotes Douglas Adams, and is particularly apt for me today. I’m sorry – my ‘write an e-book in a month and get it online’ was laughably optimistic – even before I factored in the Half Term Factor (which I’d totally forgotten).
More seriously I realised that I could probably write the book (or that Bloody Book as it’s kind of become) in the time, but I certainly couldn’t edit it, and an unedited book is an undressed salad – just not right.
So this is my confession blog post. I didn’t manage it. However I am just over 8,000 words in (about another 42,000 to go) and I’m trying for a new deadline. It won’t count as a NaNoWriMo (not a novel, not from scratch) but I thought I’d write alongside those of you who are signed up for it. (NaNoWriMo is a writing project, aiming to get 50,000 words of new fiction out of each participant by the end of November).
30th November anyone? And in the meantime, if you’d like to let me know if you’re doing NaNoWriMo, or if you have a contribution for the forthcoming book chapter ‘When Good Parties Go Bad’, please comment below.
