A Novel Idea
November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. WordPress, the host of my own little blog, is participating by encouraging we bloggers to post a bit of a novel each day. I’ve always thought Chick Lit could be a fun, interesting genre to write, so who knows–I may try busting out a serial novel this month.
