 So. That stands for National Novel Writing Month…

…which starts the first of November! Today!

You can visit the official website here.

You can sign up on there. That’s the young writers version. It’s got all kinds of stuff to help you write your novel, even a printable workbook.

I started my novel today. The first chapter is 802 words, and since my goal is 5,000 words by the end of the month, I’m 16% done with The Secret Artist ! That’s the title.

Check out the first three paragraphs.

I don’t really remember my father. The last time I saw him was when I was five years old. After that – well, he was just gone.

There used to be pictures of him around the house. Now there’s not. Mom took them down a long time ago. She couldn’t stand to see his face after the loss.

But he didn’t die. He just ceased to exist. That’s what I thought when I was five years old, and it’s still the best explanation I’ve got.

So so so so excited!

By the way, it’s snowing right now. In November!
