National Novel Writing Month is nearly upon us:

One month, 50,000 words, one novel.

I’ve decided to challenge myself, and my [poor] organisational skills, to join the thousands of writers setting out to pen a novel in the month of November.  I’ll be blogging my journey here.  Please do send your encouragement/tips/chocolate on the days in which I struggle…which I’m sure will be many!

In the spirit of not cheating, I’ve resisted the temptation to make ANY notes but I do have the seed of an idea in my mind.  It means putting aside my current novel which is nearing completion of first draft stage but I think that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m hoping I’ll come back to it in December, refreshed and with a fresh pair of eyes.
