Nano-nano, nano, nano...NANO....

Guess what?

It's NANO!

National Novel Writing month. I'm talking part in National Novel Writing Month again this year. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

Yeah, we're all nuts.

That's 1667 words per day, every day.

Why? Because as I said we're all nuts. No, just kidding. Because it gets me off my butt and gets me writing in bulk.

Why 50,000 words?
That's the least amount of words that's still considered a novel.

Have I ever done it before? Yep. I even won once before. I wrote a horrid werewolf romance novel that year. It was fun. And no, you may never read it. I have no desire to publish a werewolf romance but the story was keeping me from writing anything else. I purged it.

The other two years I didn't get 50,000 words but I still did over 25,000 words in both of those. When else do you write that much in 30 days?

What am I writing this year? I was bored with comedy so I'm going back to my roots and writing a suspense novel.

What do I win? Not a whole lot. I get to hang out with my writer friends. I get an e-certificate saying I finished. I get 50,000 new words.

Why do I still do it? Because even when it makes me miserable I'm still happy doing it.

MY TITLE: The Child Thief

Plot: A man can't stop himself from following an eight year old boy around and spying on him. Then that boy disappears. Two years later, another boy disappears. Investigator Elle Tresse is begged to look into the case. But what she finds is more complicated than she expected. Good guys and bad guys keep switching hats in this suspenseful tale where the truth more dangerous than any weapon.

So that's what I'm doing this month.

NANO Cover Project...FREE for NANO Participants

OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR 2011--ALL REQUESTS were produced this year. YEAH ME!!!

Hi Bunnies,

This weekend will be NANO cover creation weekend for me.

www.nanowrimo.org
This is NANO. I'm TirzahLaughs on Nano.

Huh, you say?
On NOvember 1st, NANO starts...which is National Novel Writing Month. I know most of you are sharpening your pencils, buying new flash drives and asking your family to move out of state for 30 short days so you can write in peace.

But you know that somewhere in the middle of that 30 Days, you'll get stuck or want to quit or be distracted by a relative with a fascinating and loud problem.

Want a little inspiration to keep you going?
This weekend I will be creating fake covers for your new NANO projects. Because it is FREE, I will be using public domain or photos I already have a right to. They won't be quite as good as the polished ones I do for publishing but they will look good on your NANO site or website.

And heck, I like seeing my name on a book cover, don't you?

If you'd like a book cover for your NANO project, just post here in the comments. I will do as many as I can before Sunday 10pm EST. If I haven't gotten to you by then, I'm not going to. But I work fast.

What do I need?
A rough idea of your story---even if all you have is a rough idea.
If your character is a particular nationality or is an elf or something, you may want to mention that.

A way to contact you. Your web address, blog or email. I'm not picky.

Oh and a book title if you have one. If you don't, I'll just put nothing or Nano Book 2011.

What do you get? A basic book cover that you can post on the NANO site.

WHy?
Well because I want to and it's good advertising for me.

Can I use this cover on CreateSpace if I decide to self-publish?
Mmm not in the form it'll be in, no. But just ask and we can talk about converting it.

So what's your plot?
***FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.
Pass this post onto your NANO friends.
