But you don’t know which page to turn to, do you? Oh god, more song lyrics as blog entry headings. I’m so unoriginal.
Anyway, less than a week from NaNoWriMo time. What the hell is NaNoWriMo, you say? Why, it’s National Novel Writing Month. November has been the designated month of writing for a while now. The goal is simply (ha!) to write 50,000 words. No, not the word “word” 50,000 times, it needs to be meaningful, thus the phrase “Novel Writing Month.”
Time to bust through that writers block, drink to much coffee staying up way to late while ignoring more pressing obligations, like work and feeding the cat if you have one, in an effort to produce the next great American (or wherever the heck you live) Novel. Or, a trite work replete with every cliche you can think of. Whichever.
Last year I got to about 5,000 words and then got bored. Yeah, 1/10th of the way through. Fairly pathetic. I’ll do better this year.
Title: Orpheus in Pink
Category: Literary Fiction
Plot Synopsis: A young musical phenom finds that her talents are the source of a rift between her parents. Her only sanity is in the home of her music tutor Grandfather. When he is suddenly killed in an auto accident, she goes on a spiritual journey in effort to bring some part of him back.
Yeah, that’s probably as much as I’ll get written. Wait… no, bad writer, BAD.
Let’s see… 50,000 words in 30 days averages out to 1700 words per day. About 500 words per page, so 3.5 pages per day. That doesn’t sound so hard. Right?
