2020 Novel Writing Month Completed

What an exciting month of writing November held for me. I chose to work on the prequel to Grandma’s Sock Drawer. As expected, the writing journey had its moments when ideas seemed stale, action stalled out, characters became boring. I’d say to myself, “You’re the one writing this thing! If you don’t like what’s happening, change it!”

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 2020

Write a novel in a month? Crazy, right? The challenge is to write your story in 50,000 words, in just one month.
