Sequels
#NaNoWriMo starts in November.
The first time I dared to try it, I wrote Immortal Sands.
For my industrious fingers, it’s not rocket science.
Is it possible to have hyperactive fingers and a brain that operates in slow motion?
You don’t have to answer that.
Every year, I write 50,000 words in 20 – 25 days, even though I have 30 days to do it.
Today, I finished revising the draft of a novel I wrote last November. The cover I created in 5 minutes for NaNoWriMo is simply electrifying.
I’m rethinking the cover.
It’s more of a twisted, simmering love story than a thundering SciFi tale.
Synopsis in 14 words: Starship commander in hibernation awakens thousands of years later, kidnaps local, tries to survive.
I don’t want to give away the story; it’s not finished yet and I’m already devising a sequel in my head.
Of all the books I’ve written, this one is crying out, “I need beta readers!”
Now, all I have to do is find a few.
All the best for your new work on Nanowrimo Joelle ✨🎉

You seem to have this process figured out. I participated in Nano once. I never got around to real edits, though. So depressing. I refuse to start Nano until that is complete.

The key to it is to keep writing and not worry about the edits in those 30 days. It’s very, very hard to do that way, but hey — It’s going to be ugly and scattered, but it’s a draft. I had to go back and fill in the blanks later, but the basic draft was completed in 20 days. I had 70,000 words by the 30th day.
