Novel | From the Desktop of Sid and Nata

Last night, I was asked by a friend of mine to join her during National Novel Writing Month. She told me to google the word NaNoWriMo, and there it was:

http://www.nanowrimo.org/.

This means that for the month of November, 100,000’s of people from across the WORLD will be doing nothing but putting together 50,000 words that may form some type of novel that has no real need for high quality, no agent to tell them to do better, and no focus EXCEPT for word count.

Why?

Because too many people put off the Novel within their souls because they never have time, it won’t be good enough, so on and so fourth.

They do it because of the cool satisfaction of having written a novel in 30 days or less.

Some of those novels may actually find their way into the presses of some cool publishing company because without the push of NaNoWriMo, the novel may have never been written at all-crap or not.

I think I have 4 or 5 novels that could benefit from the deadline of NaNoWriMo, and so I am telling you-my dear anonymous reader-that I will be participating (under the name Sidnata) if you choose to join and want to say Hi.

I wanted to post about this here, because it has been a dream of mine for some time to write childrens books, and most of them (in my head, with a few on paper) have been nature/bug themed.

I usually put them away because I cannot afford the fee of a proper illustrator, and then we have the business of finding a REPUTABLE publishing company to submit to.

I PUT THEM AWAY, and this is not a good thing.

So, I am hoping that NaNoWriMo will give me the spark to pick up the old pages and dust them off…and of course to try my hand at writing something even bigger!

This blog was started to keep me writing, in some form or another, and I am glad that my friend invited me to this cool event!

Check it out, and I hope to see some of you there!!!
