NaNoWriMo: Week 1 – Setting the Stage

This first week of NaNoWriMo has been all about setting the stage for my characters as well as for myself. Since this is my first 50k, I have put five contingencies in place to ensure a strong finish.


Catch up with me if you can on my previous post …


My First 50K

My First 50K

For years my wild imagination has mixed kagillion fantastical scenes with snipits from my past and present into what I think are humorous, romantic, thrillers. Some scenes I have journaled, but none had ever been weaved into anything substantial. So, on November 1, I let some of these story bits escape from my head in response to the annual NaNoWrMo challenge. For the month of November, the challenge is to write 1,600 words each day. At the end of the month, the result should be a 50,000-word novel. Read what inspired me to unleash the wild from my head.
