Okay I know its still a few months away yet, but I am properly thinking about NaNoWriMo.  This will be my second year giving it a go, last year I hit just over 30,000 words, which I was rather impressed with if I’m honest.  I started off well but blew myself out and ran out of steam and my story kind of died a bit of a death.  I did not do any prep work for last year, I had an idea and just steamed on with it.  A little like a bull in a china shop.  So this year I am going to give a story that me and Owen have had around us for a few years a go.  Owen has dropped away from this story but he’s keen to see what I do with it.  We had a beginning to it and I had a go at writing it again last year, but now I have a much more comprehensive idea of the story that I want to write.  The core is still pretty much the same but I’ve gone through a lot of little ideas on how to make the story more complete.  This is something that I am getting more and more confident about each day.  Not only that I might actually hit the magic 50,000 word mark during November, but that I can make this story work this time.  In the next few days I will start putting these notes on paper and get preparing for it properly this year round 🙂
