( the word change gave me inspiration )

I signed up on the official NaNoWriMo site saying I would try to write a "novel" this month but I also just signed up on Mini-WriMo to at least write 100 words a day.

Either way, here are the first 2,000 words in a new story I just started. I have a plot idea of this one...well, more of a plot than I did for the last one.

So, I think I'm going to sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). November 1st is the start date, then you write until the 30th or 50k words - whatever happens first ( Read more... )
