90-Day Novel

SO EXCITED!!!

It's summer.

This school year, a year I'm happy to end and forget, is over.  O-V-E-R, I tell you.

Do you know what this means?  DO YOU?????

I CAN WRITE AGAIN!!!  WRITE AND WRITE AND WRITE AND WRITE SOME MORE!!!

and mother.

because i promise to continue to do that too.

I AM GOING TO START THE 90-DAY NOVEL ON WEDNESDAY!!!

Do you know what that is?  Do you want to know what that is?  Do you want to do it too?  You can.  You can do it with me.  All you need to do is click on this sentence.  Then come back and tell me that you are IN.

In case you are not listening to me (I am used to this sort of behavior, I tell you.)  I will tell you what the 90-Day Novel entails. 

IT ENTAILS WRITING A NOVEL IN THREE MONTHS.  completely. 

The first 29 days will be spent getting to know  my characters and their problems and probably lots more about them.  I will know how my story starts.  I will know what my inciting incident is.  I will know other major turning points.  I will know everything I need to know so that when I start writing my first draft on Day 30 I will not hit walls and stare at blank pages.  My fingers will not slow down.  THEY WILL BE FIRE AND FREE AND SUPER SPEEDY QUICK.  (don't even ask why i'm channeling junie b jones in this post.)

I will post about my daily progress.  Aren't you so. very. lucky?! 

I know about this 90-Day Novel thingy because my CP, Kari Marie White, told me about it (she has a fantabulous writing blog.  go, go look!).  And she asked if I'd be interested in joining her and I said, "Heck yeah!" 

So that's what I'll be up to. 

THAT and finishing my co-novel with erica.  BECAUSE that rocks too!!!!!!

  1. I love 'The 90 day novel' I used it while writing mine from jan- april. I was so surprised at how fast it actually went and the exercises given were a huge help. I'll be using it for my next novel too. Good luck!

  7. Good luck on your 90-day novel! I have too many things to revise and edit to start writing a new one, but I have several ideas waiting in the wings. Goody goody. Have fun!
