I enjoyed myself last year and was deeply pleased when I reached the 50,000 words target and even more pleased after I self published my novel. (So I've sold all of three copies. So what? I'm not in it for the glory.)
This year I have an idea that grew out of a three word week challenge I completed (and I freely admit most of that text will appear in the introductory chapter) and it basically consists of a string of short stories threaded onto the life of a central character. I love the voice (I can already hear him in my head from when I first wrote him) and I'm looking forward to being able to vent some of my natural sarcasm through him. I have about five reasonable ideas for chapters but I NEED 25!
WHAT have I let myself in for?

I bet you'll surprise yourself. You'll get more than you need, I bet! Have a happy Halloween and good luck with NaNo. I'm Kalligenia on there if you want to add me as a buddy.
I'm admiring of you even thinking of it when you are so pressed but at the same time recognise that being busy can be a stimulant wich makes you go further than you thought possible.
