National Novel Writing Month: THE PREP

NANOWRIMO IS NIGH 

It's that time of the year again: where I participate in a crazy annual tradition known as NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH. 

I started this tradition in my freshman year of college with a story about the children of astronauts stranded on an alien planet. Since then, I've done the challenge every year except during my semester abroad in the United Kingdom.

90% of the stories I plan for NaNoWriMo are just for practice. Only two that I've done in the six years I've participated in are worth revisiting and revising. One of them, Displaced, is currently being rewritten and re-visioned as a webcomic.

THIS YEAR'S SAGA 

I wasn't certain I'd be able to participate this year, given personal circumstances, however I decided to do it to get back in the groove of things. That's the most important thing for me to do right now, and I have a great idea!

Or, at least, I think it is.

This year's NaNoWriMo novel is called Scrumptious! A retired superhero decides to pen a food memoir, and notes how food has changed his life and his superhero career. This story will include silly food recipes that are not in any way edible (yet so good!).
