This is the journal of a walk through writing an entire novel in a month, as it happens. This includes thoughts, tools, struggles, and planning strategies. I wrote 78,000 words for the novel in the month of November, 2014, and this is the journey of writing it. I wrote this journal at the same time as the novel, each day reporting on what I was struggling with as I wrote. At the end, I have included notes on my 2015 NaNoWriMo novel.All Rights Reserved
