NANOWRIMO DAY 5

Today is Day 5 of NANOWRIMO.

8,335 is minimum word count due on my novel.

My personal ideal word count is 10,000.

So far, I'm  quite excited for this book and series. I have more ideas than I could possibly get down on the page at this point, which is the direct opposite of writer's block. (Thank God.)

I'm exhausted this morning after being up late watching the elections and getting up early, never mind sleeping poorly. Sigh.

I cannot wait to see what CRAIMORE reveals to me today as I write.

I've participated in NANOWRIMO every year since 2009. I've won it twice and have failed miserably the rest of the time. I think I have a good shot this year with accomplishing my goal. Time will tell.

NANOWRIMO 2014 and Writing Progress of CRAIMORE

I have 7,006 words written so far for NaNoWriMo and am actually ahead of schedule. (Yay!) Which isn't bad since I started to this book yesterday morning and I was two days behind.

Which book? This one:

Which series? The one listed.

The truth of the matter is I have more ideas than I could possibly get down on the page, and not enough time or fingers for fast typing. This series offers a plethora of ideas, which means this series could be limitless.

I will now stop writing, since I am ahead of schedule, and I will actually work on planning and outlining this book and series.

I do not think I have ever been so excited for a book or series. I cannot wait to see what happens.

What am I thinking so far of NaNo? I think this may be the most successful NaNo I've had yet. Time will tell, though. Hopefully this isn't wishful thinking. (And, that's why I want to do some planning and outlining to make sure this is real and isn't but a dream.)

Stay tuned. I will share with you what this book and series are about soon.

WELCOME TO THE CRAIMORE SERIES AND NANOWRIMO 2014

Welcome to the CRAIMORE website and blog.

This is a blog about a new fantasy series. It is a fantasy, rooted in history, archaeology, and mythical creatures. Think INDIANA JONES, NATIONAL TREASURE, THE LIBRARIAN, and SLEEPY HOLLOW, with its own individualistic twist. Then, you have CRAIMORE.

This is the cover for the first book in the series:

I'm taking part in NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month) 2014, which is during the month of November. It's the goal to write at least 50,000 words in November.

Stay tuned for more information about this book.
