I’m Writing a Book
I have the predicament of wanting to do everything before I die. Number 234,220 on that list is writing a novel, so we’re going to get that one knocked out this month.
Why November? Because it’s NaNoWriMo, the unfortunately acronymed National Novel Writing Month. You can go sign up at the web site and pledge to write a 50k word novel in one month. Usually 1 out of 6 people actually finish it. I’ll be one of those people. Will you?
I have a pretty cool idea for a story, and I think I’m already a pretty good storyteller. What’s really exciting, though, is that writing 50k words apparently makes everyone who completes it a much better writer. Remember the practicing thing from yesterday? Let’s practice being good writers. Get ready for some kick ass stories up in this piece.
I’ll post bits of the story as I go, and will keep you updated on how my progress is. I have two flights this month so that’s a solid 8 hours of story writing time right there.

Perhaps a closing anchor tag would help?

Good luck! That’s about 7 pages per day. Not impossible, but definitely not easy. I couldn’t do it. And neither could a friend of mine two years ago.

I heard about NaNoWriMo at the end of November last year, and resolved to do it this year. Unfortunately that’s not gonna happen anymore. Definitely on my list of things to do though.
Good Luck with yours. I have no doubt you’ll complete your novel. Can’t wait to read it.

If you can’t return a simple phone call, I doubt you will be able to finish a novel.

I ended up not doing it because I had too many projects going on. That said… I just finished writing my own pickup book. The first few people have read it and given rave reviews and soon it will be available for BTYB readers. (Friday or Saturday probably…)
