Joined Today

I have for years known about this little challenge. I could always come up with some form of an excuse for why I shouldn't do it. But this year I am.

I write fan fiction, which means I really just steal characters from a well known book and screw with and manipulate them into what I want them to be. Sad really.

My first fan fiction is over 200,000 words. It's not very original and was my first ever attempt to actually share my writing with people outside of myself. I started it on January 27th and finished it April 7th.

I figure if I can write over 200,000 words in the span of just under four months, then I should have no problem getting 50,000 done in 30 days. The main challenge for me is going to be what I decide to write about.

A novel in a month sounds daunting and scary. But I am determined to try this and see what happens. Join me if you will... should be an interesting ride.

Now I just need to decide what to write about...
