Today is the last day of October, which means that tomorrow, I will start writing the first draft of the sequel to The Volunteer, tentatively titled Naked Fame : The Volunteer Returns.

November is National Novel Writing Month, a phenomenon that has both its good and bad points.  The bad is that I have waited until November 1 to begin writing even though the first part of the story had crystallized in my mind a few weeks ago.  The good thing about NaNoWriMo is that  it gives me a goal to push toward.  That goal is 50,000 words written by the end of November 30th.  The only time I ever did NaNoWriMo in earnest, I finished the month with just over 60,000 words written. And I did this while working full time and modeling for art classes several evenings that month.  So I know I can do it.  I’ll try to post on my progress on Naked Fame here on the blog.
