The Writing Geek

In a few days, I will be launching my effort to write 50,000+ words throughout November for National Novel Writing Month. It’s going to take a lot of effort & focus, but I think I am up to the task. No, I know I am.

At first, I was going to focus my energy on writing one book length story, but have recently decided to make it a compilation of three short works. Tentative titles of each story are:

He Said, She Said
The Evolution of Jake
Rebel Bullets Sing

Although each will be quite different in content, I want to have one theme that connects the three. I still haven’t decided what that will be.

Plot is going to be an interesting endeavor. I have a few rough plot sketches, but nothing that I know will carry me through 50,000+ words. Instead, I think the three will be much more character driven. Put simply, the characters will decide the plot.

The goal for each short? At least 20,000 words.

Wish me luck…
