~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been hard at work planning my Nanowrimo novel! I have a start to a rough outline, some sentences and short paragraphs about what I want to cover, and I have been researching like crazy this last month, reading lots of blogs, flagging books, and obtaining more books on the subject matter on which I plan to write.  I have 2 more books I want to read this month and I want to finish the outline/chapter subjects.


So are you planning your Nano? Let me know your account name so I can add you as a buddy and cheer you on!  Mine is Angelms, so add me too!
