Today I write about a few blog posts that caught my attention. They were informative to me and added to my knowledge and perspective on topics I would like to follow. The first one was an interview with Barry Eisler in the New York Observer. Mr. Eisler speaks of how he views the future of publishing. Continue reading “What Caught My Attention”

Things are warming up on the NaNoWriMo front. Yes, I am ready for the National Novel Writing Month 2011. My entry will be a project which has been on my mind for some time. A thriller/mystery novel called “Let The Dead Stay Dead”. Continue reading ““Let The Dead Stay Dead””
Article first published as Cracking NaNoWriMo on Technorati. With about twenty days left for NaNoWriMo, there’s still time for you to plan to participate and succeed. Here are my tips on “Cracking NaNoWriMo”.
GFG2G4CUKZFE The countdown has begun. The timer at the National Novel Writing Month website showed me when I saw it last that are 27 days 4 hours left for the kick-off. Starting, November 1, thousands of people from all over the world will set out to write 50,000 words during the calendar month of November 2011. I am as excited as most others would be. Continue reading “NaNoWriMo 2011”
Better late than never! I am very excited to have signed on for Camp NaNoWriMo. This is, so to say, like a dry run for the NaNoWriMo which takes place in November each year. I wasn’t following NaNo too closely for the last few months and in any case I was on vacation in the US, so I seemed to have missed the early announcements about Camp NaNoWriMo.

N, for me, has to be for NaNoWriMo– the National Novel Writing Month. The reason why is best summed up in this extract from the “acknowledgements ” I made at the start of my debut novel “It Can’t Be You”.
“Lucky For Some, Thirteen” is the tile of the second novel that I am working on. As mentioned earlier, the basic platform came out of the 50,000 + words that I did during NaNoWriMo 2010. You might know by now that my debut novel, It Can’t Be You, which was published in November 2010 came out of my debut effort in NaNoWriMo in November 2009.
I am thrilled to say that my name has been added to the list of published authors in the National Novel Writing Month’s web site. When I first heard of NaNoWriMo one thing that struck me was that some of the successful participants had gone on to publish novels.
Delighted to share that my name has been included in the list of Published Authors at the National Novel Writing Month‘s website. I am so happy because this was something I was eagerly waiting for . I decided to participate in NaNoWriMo for the first time in 2009. I had of course heard of it years ago but although I had the inclination I was never able to make the time to attempt NaNo.
Yay! I have just finished NaNoWriMo 2010 having reached 50,000 words for my novel “Lucky For Some, Thirteen”. I recognize that the novel is far from being complete though I have much to celebrate about. I have finished the first step- that of writing the foundation of the novel. Typically, novels in the genre I write in of thrillers/mysteries should be of at least 70,000-80,000 words.
