I signed up for NaNoWriMo again this year. I’m working on the mystery I’ve been creating characters for and plotting for the last few months. I managed to make my first day’s goal — actually a little more — at 1685 words. Woo-hoo!
There’s something freeing about NaNo. I don’t know why I’ve had such a hard time turning off the internal editor during the rest of this year. I’m hoping that getting into the writing habit in November will help me do that, as well as help me get closer to finishing the first draft of the mystery. Both of those goals would be very good to achieve.
The title of this year’s novel is the same as I had a few years ago. The story, however, has completely changed. Besides, that previous year I think I got all the way to 1,000 words before life got in the way.
Here’s my current version of the “back of the book blurb” for “A Killer Pinot Noir”. I’m not satisfied with it, but it’ll do as a first attempt:
Cat Champagne, feisty owner of Champagne Celebrations, is the prime suspect in the murder of her obnoxious client. With the reluctant help of a sexy by-the-book homicide detective, she races to find the real killer and clear her name, and in the process learns that love can happen in even the most dangerous of circumstances.
