November 2015...

This last November, I decided to dive into National Novel Writing Month.
NaNoWrMo is basically you trying to writing a full book from start to finish in 30 days. No editing allowed! I didn't make it this time, but November 2016, you are mine!!!
I had a small plan, but nothing amazing. I took the first week or so trying to get the plan together.  It started to come together. It started to seem like I was just going to run through the whole story in under a month. And then I realized how easy it was to get boggled down with everything that was going on. Everything that would happen in one month time. How many plans interrupted writing plans.          
 I wrote with a vision in my head and a dream of a photoshoot.  I dreamed of a romance suspense novel. I dreamed of ex-boyfriends and a sinfully sexy detective that made every female want to be next to him.  My main character --a woman who reminded me of me just in a different life with different plans. A woman who didn't need a man, but finds a reason for this one.
Throughout the entire month, I would write and then occasionally tweaked my outline. I tried to figure it out. I guess you could say that November was my creating a plan month. But it was also my writing month. With the amount of writing I did during the month, I didn't feel like I had actually gotten anything accomplished. But as I look back now, I can see that I did accomplish a lot. This was my first story that I took the time to make up an outline. It was the first one that I created an outline and then stuck by it. It was my first story in a long time that didn't end on the first page, because I didn't know where it was going. I'm pretty impressed at myself.
The dream is Harlequin. The dream is to do this full-time... but before I can dream that big, I have to dream of finishing this story and another and another.  

So Bathtubs and Murder will be completed before this NOVEMBER 2016!!!

It must be!!!  

(oh, no I just announced it, oh man, now I have to really work on it..Maybe they won't read this post..Oh, wish me luck... I'm scared..)
