It’s National Novel Writing Month in November! I’m revising a novel called Heaven to Betsy this month, so I’m not participating, but I’ve “won” three times and written two other novels using the NaNoWriMo methodology, so I’m a believer.
In celebration of the month, Webucator is asking authors to answer a few questions about their writing careers. Here are my responses:
What were your goals when you started writing?
When I first tried to write a novel, I just wanted to start at “once upon a time” and write all the way through to “the end” on an honest-to-goodness complete novel. Truly. That’s all I wanted. I’d been a writer since third grade, reluctantly so at first, compulsively and secretly so for years, and obsessively and enthusiastically in the last decade.
