Some ideas are so crazy they are irresistible. I have cast caution to the wind and plunged in to the National Novel Writing Month with the goal of completing a 175 page, 50,000 word novel within the month!  Over the weekend I hit 3,000 words and am calculating now how I to combine work and family obligations to work on the remaining 47,000!.

The support network, extra caffeine and online tips will hopefully see me through.

I have started writing so many great (imho!) opening chapters but now the goal is to reach some closure – I guess it’s like doing a marathon – the problems start when you reach the pain barrier.

Watch this space for updates!!
