November = National Novel Writing Month

Last year, I wrote 50,000 words and won my first NaNoWriMo. Then, I took a revisions class and joined a writer's critique group and worked that puppy over for 11 straight months. Just now, one week away from the next NaNoWriMo event, I have completed my first Young Adult novel at 255 pages and not quite 67,000 words. Get ready agents, 'cuz here I come!

Hip! Hip!

Today, with my butt in my hot-pink, bungee office chair, I'm dreaming about my next novel. I have one week to get my characters, plot, and an outline in order so that I can write the days away, starting on November first.

But, come on...first things first! According to the NaNoWriMo website, authors have a 60% more likely chance of winning if they create a cover for their story. I believe it. Because now that I've worked up a cover...it's more real to me. It's a real story, and I need to tell it.

Get ready! Riding with the Hides Of Hell: A Love Story is getting cooked up, right now.
