Last night, I registered for the National Novel Writing Month, which starts on November 1, 2011. It’s simple: all I did was create a user-name/account, password and agree that I’m over 13 years of age and that I agree to their words. The requirements are simple: write long and hard and complete 50,000 words by the end of midnight on November 30, 2011. Quality does NOT matter. Prizes are only the completiong this novel and maybe a T-shirt, badges and other souvenirs.
So I’m looking into purchasing a Premium Theme for $45 — Theme: Chapters by WooThemes. There are 20 tabs or chapters to this design. And so that helps narrow my Table of Contents to 20 topics of which I have brainstormed to include my most popular categories, which are off-hand to include a broad area under Arts and Science; Banking and Business; Education and Media; Military and Intelligence; Politics and Diplomacy; Psychology and Training; and Spiritual and Religion. Other areas may include conspiracy/paranormal, ideals/mundane, pets/people, words/wisdom and other sub-categories that I’m thinking bout.
My mind is still sharp, my memory is still keen and my sentiments still run high heaven. I’ve calculated that at least five to seven page per chapter would include at least 2,500 words. That should add up to the 50,000 words for the twenty tab/chapters/topics I plan on writing. I will use my mind and whatever memory is left of my small mind to consolide my over nine thousand weblog entries to be included in this novel. Brouhaha!
But I would have to register another blog, just to differentiate my primary blog from something worthy for publication in the bookstores or online. However, my writing skills are mediocre and basic. So I won’t expect any fanfare, except maybe a few snickers here and there by those who dare humor themselves at my price, not that I take things personally but my word are part of me. Nonetheless, I will try a novel after practicing with blogging. Right on.
