Hi!  So I don’t know whether anyone really reads that weird thing I call a blog in the pages, but if you read from November you would know that I did what is called NaNoWriMo (a.k.a. National Novel Writing Month).  It wasn’t the official NaNo; the official NaNo is when you write a novel in thirty days.  As I was, and still am, in the midst of writing a novel right now that I must finish before I go crazy (short trip), I instead tried to finish the book in thirty days.  The plot-line soon revealed itself to be twice as long as I thought and I only got half-way.  However, that was significant progress, adding up to about 200 pages.  But as I said, that got me to about half-way.

As it happens, NaNo has what they call Camp NaNo; a NaNo in June and August as well as November.  I decided that this was just what I needed, as once again all I have is one last leap and I’ll be more or less done.  (Then comes revising; yay.)  So I encourage you to look into June NaNo and give it a try!  I’ll be up-dating you guys as much as I can while I’m writing so wish me good luck.  And of course, if I’m to be able to do this in June I have to be done with my schoolwork by then, which leads you to wonder what I’m doing here when I have a research report waiting!  Better get back to that.

If all goes well, I will have a finished and complete novel by August!  (But really, is a novel EVER finished?  I’m starting to doubt it’s possible.)  My deadline is August because then it will be have been two years since I’ve started!  Plus, it’ll make a great birthday gift to myself!
