NaNoWriMo

I'm excited to be participating in NaNoWriMo again, but I have better plans than last year. Last year I did not finish my NaNo Novel by the end of November. It wasn't completed and ready for editing/formatting until August 2014. I was very disappointed that I had given up so easily. I wasn't inspired to finish it until after the Louisville Authors Event that happened April 5th, 2014. It was there that I met such an amazing group of authors. 

On top of that I had a very dear author friend that had pushed me to complete it. Two actually. J.D. Rivera and Victoria Escobar gave me the push I needed to complete it and get it published. I don't think I would have had they not encouraged me. Once I got back into the swing of things, my husband was constantly on my case. Why aren't you writing? How much have you written? Are you almost done? It was a constant thing with him.

This year I am on track to actually finish. My WIP for NaNo is called Untreatable. It will be a YA Dystopian. I am so excited about this! YA Dystopian is my favorite genre. Yes! I'm one of those girls! The one that's read all of the Hunger Game books, Divergent, Maze Runner, The Selection, Matched, Delirium. Wow! You name it and I've read it or I want to read it!

I'm hoping that this WIP will be something that everyone will be anticipating to read. I haven't written a synopsis yet. I'm kind of scared to, but I have over thirteen thousand words so far. NaNoWriMo only requires fifty thousand to win NaNo. My plan is to try and do seventy plus on this novel. I can do it!
