This year I will seek to do the improbable, write the second book of my series in a month. I wrote my first book, Deus Ex Machina, last year during NaNoWriMo so you might ask “But you’ve done it before, why is this year so different?” Well dear writer let me tell you.

Last year I worked part time and had few other commitments. That meant I was able to devote many an evening and all four weekends of November to writing. No so this year. This year, not only am I still working part time but I am now a full time graduate student.

But I am not giving up hope. That is why I am posting my goal of writing 50,000 words in a month out here in public. It will keep me accountable to you all. I suggest you do the same. Put your goals out there and ask your friends and family to keep you on track.

Happy Writing! (and good luck to all you NaNo nuts )
