National Novel Writing Month begins November 1st, and I need your help. For the past two years I’ve competed in NaNoWriMo while in Washington. These past two years I have also failed. I made it to 10,000 and 15,000 respectively. This year I want to win, but I need help keeping myself honest and actually writing the 1,667 words a day I need to succeed.
My story this year is going to be about two civilizations that live in the dragon lands. The only two civilizations who can. One group consider the dragons sacred, the other group considers them sport to be hunted.
My main character loses her dragons to the slayers, but finds out he is still alive, and being held for a major ceremony that makes a prince into a king. She sets out to save her dragon, and probably falls in love with the prince and rights all wrongs in the process. I’m kind of fuzzy on the details right now. ^^
I will post regular updates on where my word count is, and where it should be. If you see me falling behind, crack a whip! Yell! Do something!
Oh, and in other news… The Written Connection now has its own domain, which forwards you to its current address. You can see it here: www.thewrittenconnection.com annnnnd, we have a couple more additions to the blog directory! Yay!

I’ll be glad to push you onward in NaNoWriMo if you slide behind. As for TWC, does my blog qualify as a writing blog? I am a writer and I blog. My blog is not clearly a blog about writing, although I created it to advance my writing. I am thinking this: If someone finds my blog through TWC, will this person think it must be a mistake? On the other hand, your interview does reveal information about the blog. You decide. Blessings to you…

I am telling myself that to do NaNo would be foolish this year, but it’s been such a good thing for me these past couple of years that I’m actually turning an idea over in my head. Think I’ll decide this weekend after I plot out some more of the story whether or not I can get to 50k without a struggle.

Cheering you on! Best NaNo energy! Will check back to crack the literary whip if needed!

Go, girl!
I’m a champion whip-cracker. Will be trying to fulfill this charge you’ve given!

Your puppy is adorable! It’s amazing to me that dogs that young can be that disciplined. Good for him and cheers to you for your patience.
Best of luck to you during NaNo – I know you will make it this year!
BTW, thanks so much for including me in The Written Connection!

Sounds like a story I’d love to read. Do all dragons have the same disposition or are some worth hating/fearing? Will you be sharing the work when it is finished? I demand excerpts along the way!
Best of luck!
