My November 30 day Journey for Nanowrimo
It’s a cloudy and rainy Sunday afternoon November 1st, 2020 in Sydney Australia. I’ve got my laptop up and running, my coffee, my electronic cigarette, and last but not least loads of determination.
National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a brand new novel. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.
Although I did plan on publishing my very first autobiography a few years ago, sadly my self-publisher went into liquidation, and unfortunately, I lost a lot of money in that process, approximately $3,000 Australian dollars. I was angry that I couldn’t get it back, and had to accept the money was gone and maybe my book just wasn’t ready to release to the universe yet…looking back now, no it wasn’t, my story has continued.
