I am officially a part of a national group of writers! Today was the kick-off party for my region and I learned a ton about this great "contest". Follow this link to learn more about it. www.nanowrimo.org
Anyways, I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to finish this challenge in 30 days but I will be getting some great support from my online "writing buddies" as well as from my friends and family, so I'm very hopeful. :)
I'll be writing a novel about Anne Bonny and her part in the Golden Age of Piracy. I'm writing it as historical fiction so some of it will not be necessarily true. Now, we all know about those terrifying female pirates!!! The ones who told their husbands at the gallows, when they left their wives to fight alone, "I am sorry to see you here, but if you had fought like a man, you need not have hanged like a dog." Very powerful words! They show a fighter's soul underneath and I will do my best to capture that spirit.
Well, I'm sorry for such a short post, but I've got to go start writing. :) So, wish me luck!
