November writing challenges
So who else out there is doing NaNoWriMo? For those that don’t know, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. The goal: to write a 50,000 word novel during November.
I’m a NaNoRebel this year; I’m actually working on two projects – a graphic novel script and a middle grade fantasy.
Other writing challenges I’ve decided to take on (yes, I know I’m mad):
PiBoIdMo, or Picture Book Idea Month: come up with a picture book idea a day and 2009 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: poem a day
Wish me luck!

You are insane! But I’m excited for you. I know you can do it! I’m doing the 1,000 words a day. So far, I’ve been able to do it. I’m so busy this month but if I think I just have to write a 1000 words, somehow I get it in. And amazingly I’m already at chapter 3! Yeah!
Good luck.
I’m not sure I’m a NaNo type writer. I think I’d have to be totally ready, like maybe even have started writing the first draft. Otherwise I just come out in December with the world’s wordiest outline. But you’re talking to a writer who does page count goals instead of word count goals to avoid padding my sentence with a million adverbs and phrases like “at all”.
