Here it is day 2 of NaNoWriMo 2019 and I am just now announcing my intentions to participate. Thankfully, I did not forget to start writing and I am now over 5000 words in.<\/p>\n

I’m back in the thriller genre for a fourth or fifth time, depending upon how you count it. I have started four thrillers for NaNoWriMo, but one of them I had to split into two novels, so five is more accurate from a WIP perspective, but four is the correct number of NaNoWriMo attempts. Let’s just say it depends upon your “point of view” (an oblique Star Wars reference, in honor of Episode IX coming out soon).<\/p>\n

Today was the third annual Northwest Georgia Writers Conference, held in Calhoun, Georgia. I did double duty at the conference, running the NaNoWriMo Write-In room and speed presenting on NaNoWriMo – what it is and how to prep for it. It was a great day, with some great authors and speakers. You can check out all the details at their website – nwgawriterscon.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted to mention a bit about the featured image for today’s post. I usually find some (free) stock photography for my featured images, but this time I am posting this photo from a cruise excursion I took several years ago. It was a forest zipline and because of the lighting in the shot, you can’t really see the other end of the line very well. I see this as a symbol of the NaNoWriMo experience. You can’t see the end very clearly, or at all, but the journey should be great fun!<\/p>\n

Until I post next…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
