It is the eve of National Novel Writing Month 2012, the fourth one in which I’ve participated. My record so far is not great:
2009: Win
2010: Fail
2011: Fail
Unlike previous years I’m not trying to adapt or expand an existing short story. I’m not sure whether this will work to my benefit or not but at least I have an idea to start from. I plan to post daily updates and that handy NaNoWriMo widget over on the right should update my word count.
I have done a little outlining and some thinking but that’s it for preparation, unless you count the 20 year old incomplete notes I wrote when I first hatched this idea back when no one knew what a cell phone was.
The novel is called The Mean Mind. More to follow soon™.
