National Novel Writing Month is in November.

Less than a month away.  This is the big Kahuna of writing challenges, the one that started it all and it couldn’t come at a busier time of year?  Seriously, who were the brain wizards who came up with a writing challenge in November? 

Last year was my first one, and I had a blast!  I credit NaNo with finally pushing me to complete a novel, instead of constantly re-editing my old words and never getting anywhere.  Of course last year I wasn’t writing any fanfics, and my work wasn’t turning my brain into mush, so we’ll see how successful I am this year! 

I’ve decided to go with the sequel to Angel of Mercy for what I’ll be writing this year since that one ended on sort of a cliff hanger.  It’ll be called No Mercy for the Wicked and should pick up right where the first one leaves off.  The editing for Angel of Mercy went well and I’ve gotten good feedback from my two test readers (thanks guys, bonus cookie for you!), next step is getting a synopsis done and then I’ll be slogging through getting query letters out to agents. 

I am still working on getting Pretty Witches edited down and have removed about 5k in words so far without removing any scenes completely yet.  Yet. 

In other news we did buy a new car last weekend, yay!  I soooooo wanted the little sporty Honda CRZ, a sports car hybrid!  It was so pretty and fun to drive!  But in the end we went practical, and got the new CRV, SUV with all the bells and whistles, all the options money can buy and it’s a sweet ride.
