is taking over my newlywed life! I'm already behind on my word count, which is probably not good since I need to have 50,000 words by the end of the month. Eep.
For those that don't know NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. A group of people started it a few years ago, and the challenge is to write a complete novel (of 50,000 words) in one month. You can come in with outlines and characters, but you can't have any actually writing done on the novel. That, my friends, would be cheating. It's a lot of fun, but it's also completely stressful. I feel like I'm definitely going to have a few nights towards the end of lots of caffeinated tea and late late (or early early) bedtimes.
My story is about a girl who stows away on a plane to London, lives in Hamley's (a toy store) and pickpockets the shoppers for food money.
So far I haven't hit my word goal for any day, but darn it, I will persevere!
