NaNoWriMo 2019 & MCR is BACK!

Although I am still working on editing the final draft I have of MY FIRST NOVEL, I have decided to participate in this year’s National Novel Writing Month.

The intended goal is to write a 50,000 worded novel over the course of the month of November. Each day your writing goal is around 1,600 words in order to accomplish this. So far I have about 3,700 words written and I need around 1,700 written today to keep up.

I love to write Horror, scary stories, fiction in general with disturbing twists and turns that dabble with the strange, unusual, and surreal. For this NaNoWriMo I have decided to try my hand at realistic fiction. Keeping it in the ‘real’ world the best I can. So, of course, the book I’m working on right now is a Mystery/Crime/Thriller. Let’s see if I can pull it off.

Participating in NaNoWriMo2018

I’ve decided to participate in the National Novel Writing Month ! I have been working on my novel for a while. I wrote the first few pages back in 2014 then forgot about it until July of this year. I returned to what notes I had and became intrigued by where I could take the story, if possible even complete it. This last month I haven’t worked on it as much as I would have liked to so I decided to try NaNoWriMo this year. Although I already have about 16,000 words written which is quite a head start, I figured I should still take advantage of the opportunities and resources available and attempt to finish my novel!

What to Expect: Book Reviews and Reflections

I plan on writing up some reviews/reflections on a few of the following books this month. I have yet to choose which ones from this list of what I am currently reading.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan

Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry by Robert Pinsky

Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf

Satanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture by Per Faxneld

I am really leaning towards a reflection of Wuthering Heights for sure and a review of Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry.
