NaNoWriMo

Hi guys!

I just realized that it's been nearly six months since I updated this blog and I'm a little annoyed by that as I was really hoping that I'd have more news to share with you guys by now.

I am still working on three projects. They really have taken different turns than I was expecting so YAY for surprise turns. I don't usually outline things before I start so seeing them take me in directions I wasn't expecting is awesome and it definitely makes me excited to keep working on them. I'm definitely excited to see where each of these stories takes me.

Now, as some of you may know, November is National Novel Writing Month and my original plan was to work more on an NA Contemporary that has been neglected lately, but I feel like I want to start a whole new project just for this month. My preliminary plan is to do a NA Contemporary LGBT novel. I don't feel like we see any NA's that have a LGBT focus and I really want to write one.

Hopefully my plans come to fruition and I am able to complete this book in the month of November. That would be truly awesome as I have done NaNoWriMo once before and I started off really well, but life got in the way and my work was put on the back burner in favor of family stuff that was going on at the time.

I am no longer going to set a specific deadline for me to finish an MS with revisions and all as I feel like it puts way too much pressure on me as a writer and contrary to popular belief, I'm not just a writer. I wear many hats in my life.

My dream is still to be a published author, it just might take me a bit longer to get there.
