The BIAM (Book in a Month, in the previous post) started today. I actually started mine earlier than that because, unlike with the rules of NaNoWriMo, in this challenge, you can start at any point you like – beginning, or after 1,000 words – just as long as you write 50k total in the month of February. I decided that this time, I would figure out the setup of the story and at least get enough momentum going so that I could be able to crank out 1700 words per day. Trying to learn from the lesson of my second failure at NaNo this past November, I’ve decided to do a children’s fantasy novel. That way, if I’m at an impasse, I can just throw in some monsters or explosions and I’ll be all right.
The novel I’m working on is called (at least for the time being) “The Prince of Paukarit”. It’s about a girl and a boy who have adventures. Seriously, that’s about as structured as I’ve got the plot right now. I have an idea of what I want to happen later, but it’s probably going to change. Certainly I expect it to change by Feb. 28th, an hour till midnight, as I’m scrambling for more monsters or explosions to get me to 50k.
Here’s to not losing this time!
