NaNoWriMo
Well, here it is again, National Novel Writer’s Month. For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo is kind of how I got my start as an indie author. Five years ago, I decided I was going to “officially” participate. I registered on their website, I did daily word counts, all to try and see if I could actually do it. The results of that effort led me to start Hero Unit as a series. Since then I’ve never participated to quite that level, for various reasons, both good and bad. I think perhaps if I’d dedicated myself better, I would be farther along on some of my works in progress. Small regrets aside, I’ll never forget what it was like to dedicate so much of my time to writing. It rarely happens anymore with being a stay at home dad. This year I made the decision to participate once again. Now because I don’t work on Sundays for religious reasons, and my wife’s birthday is this month, that leaves me 25 days. The math is pretty simple, 50k words divided by 25 days.
