NaNoWriMo – An Update

Nov 6, 2011 | Blog

I thought I’d do a quick post to update you all on my progress with NaNoWriMo. Unfortunately, Clara’s story is still at a standstill. I’m not sure where to go next. If you want to help out, go to Accidental WAHM and add some comments to the posts.

Jimmy James’ letter challenge is going much better. So far his challenges have included:

  • A thank you letter
  • A letter of compliment
  • Replying to a letter
  • Writing to someone he doesn’t know
  • A letter of complaint

I have a list of other people he could write to, but I’m also looking for ideas for other challenges. If you have some ideas, please let me know.

It’s been a really hot weekend, and I haven’t got much writing done, but I am making progress. See the ticker to see where I’m up to.

Mr N, my own Jimmy James, has been enjoying the story so far, so I’m on the right track.

I’m hoping to get some more writing done this week.
