It's not no shave November, it's National Novel Writing Month. Also known as NaNoWriMo. If you haven't heard of it, I hadn't until this year, it's a month to jump start your novel-writing dream. You're supposed to write 50,000 words (or the equivalent of a novel) in a month. I am happy to announce that I have 50,712 words on my latest manuscript. Yay! Now, I have a ton of revising to do. It's never too late to start doing what you love and love to write.
What a lovely group of people! I am so grateful for the friends, family, and even a few fans (I didn't know I had those) who came to support me at The King's English Bookshop in SLC. They were gracious enough to wear the fascinators and pearl earrings that I made. Fancy Nancy would have approved.
I was in conversation with Mackenzi Lee and we had a great time talking about Victorian underwear and my book, The Last Word.
The best part of my writer's journey has been the friends that I've made.
The Novel 19s group
(Authors debuting this year: Addie Thorley, me, Erin Stewart, Tiana Smith, Crystal Pasternack, RuthAnne Snow, and Crystal Smith)
There's so many amazing authors in Utah and they are the kindest people you'll ever meet. And sometimes silly, Summer and I are lifting a leg. I'm not sure why.
(More amazing local authors: Emily R. King, Tricia Levenseller, me, Kathryn Purdie, and Summer Spence)
It was a wonderful night and I am so very grateful.
