Writer drafting a novel at a desk beneath a November sign

Novel November-Day 1

Today is the first day of Novel November and I’m feeling a little anxious. It took me a while to get started, but have started. I am about 570 words in so far and hoping to reach the goal of 1,667 words today, but we will see. I feel as though I can do that and know I have done that before when I’ve started work on my many work projects.

The working title of the book is Diary of a Mad Man. It is about a killer that leaves letters from his killing at each of the crime scenes in a little town called Neenah Wisconsin. If this sounds familiar it is because it is where I’m from…so a little hometown connection. I’m working on plenty of twists and turns, hopefully keeping the reader on edge trying to figure out who the killer is.

I know this is a growing project and since I don’t really use outlines a rough draft is going to take a while to get through so I guess I better get back to it.
