I tell myself every year that I just don't have the time to participate in the NaNoWriMo contest that is held each November, but I can't leave it alone. This is the National Novel Writing Month for those who don't know. It is an event where on the first day to the very last day of this month thousand of people attempt to write a novel of at least 50,000 words. This means that one has to write at least 1667 words per day in order to accomplish this goal. At first, t seems like a lot of words to put down, but as one unfolds their story out, it can flow in parts where you just can't stop writing the scenes, leaving you with many more words to acknowledged that day. Of course, all days don't flow so well and you might get stuck not knowing what happens next. So leave it for awhile and let your mind play with it. It will eventually come out when it's ready.
For this event, I've decided to leave the genre I usually write in, Mystery, and try something new this year...Fantasy. Yes, Fantasy. I have been challenged to write a fantasy novel and this will be a challenge for me, but I've already found a story coming forth. It is a story about a teenage girl called Vyolet. I'm already off and running, so wish me luck. I'll let you know how it proceeds.

Wow! I'm excited to read it! I love fantasy and the way it sweeps me in as a reader. The best part is that anything is possible.. I can't wait to see what your mind has created.
