In my infinite wisdom borne of never having enough of a challenge in my life, I’ve decided to join Camp NaNoWriMo, which starts July 1st. My goal is to write 25,000 words of the sequel to the novel I started and failed as a NanoWriMo project in November of 2011. That one took me 18 months to finish. I’m not under any delusion that I can get the sequel done in a month, so I won’t even try.
But wait, Linda, I hear you saying. You can’t even reply to the comments on your blog, what makes you think you can take on another project?
To answer that question, I have no idea other than that I need to start being creative again or I will go completely around the bend. I’m halfway there now, and let me tell you, the scenery ’round there is scary-dark and smells ominously like a fart.
Is it worse than getting lost in the woods while at Camp Nano? There’s only one way to find out. I figure I should be okay as long as I don’t come across any bears — ‘coz you know what THEY do in the woods.

Good luck! I’d thought about doing something for NaNoWriMo last year, but all I managed to do was get a YA mystery novel pretty much planned out. I never did get anything actually written for it. Don’t know if I’ll do anything for NaNoWriMo this year. I may try.

I wrote a novel for the real NaNo in November last year – I haven’t read it yet. My best friend read it though and said it was pretty good. 😛
So yeah, I’ve got four unfinished novels on the go now and I’m starting another one.
Let me know if you decide to do it this November – I’ll probably be ready to start another one by then. We can be writing buddies. 🙂

Honestly, I don’t know that I’ll ever take Alex out of the country. Too many things could go wrong with his health and God forbid he would have to be hospitalized in a foreign country. Chris, on the other hand, would love to travel. If I ever have enough money, I may just take him. I thank you sincerely for your offer. 🙂
