Two weeks ago, I was a speaker at a function for women in small business in the Bayside. I was asked to speak about some of my adventures. I have been fortunate in that I have travelled and worked overseas, and have experienced some really funny times. Especially in China and South Korea. Afterwards, someone said I should write a book about my experiences.
When I returned to Bribie Island, where I am house sitting, I started to make notes and before long, I had started writing. I am amazed that in less than two weeks I have written nearly 17,000 words. I am not sure how many I will aim for, but the way things are headed I should have about 60,000 within a couple of months.
Clearly, it is just a first run, and I will have a lot of editing to do.
In November, I am planning to participate in NaNoWriMo. It is a massive task but I have a story in my head that I want to write, so I am going to do my best to finish 50,000 words in November. I was going to title it "The Unknown Sister", but there is a popular book already with this title. I changed it to "The Foreign Sister". I will do my best to complete it this year.
I wonder if any of my writing friends will participate in NaNoWriMo this year? If you are, let me know.
