It’s almost NaNoWriMo time again. It’s a fabulous idea, which works very well for me as a writer. It gives me a focus and a deadline and more than anything else, it helps me to get the basic storyline down on paper in a relatively short amount of time.

This year I’m focusing on the second book in the Meg and Josh series. I’m having to cheat a bit as I’ve got a few bits scribbled down (although I’ve edited it savagely since) so I’m aiming to crack through 50,000 words on top of that. It’s a challenge and a half, but I’m looking forward to it and I’m raring to go! I’ll post my progress and the odd extract every now and then, but if you want to keep an eye on me, my profile is here.

In the meantime, as an incentive, I’ve bought myself a pair of most wonderful shoes. And yes, they are purple. Life’s way too serious sometimes!
