In a little over two hours, National Novel Writing Month begins!  The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in the 30  days of November.  I planned to participate two years ago, but this year I am determined to finish.   50,000 words in 30 days is a mere 1667 words per day. I plan to emulate my favorite author, Anthony Trollope, and spend my commuting time on my novel.   So farewell to facebook from my iPhone and games of Spider Solitaire and Bookworm.      It’s not too late to sign up!  This year I really will write my novel.
