My Own NaNoWriMo – A Self-Challenge

As many of you know, I pretty much failed NaNoWriMo. Why? Because I really didn’t have the time or energy into my novel to write it in only one month. I gave up after about a week and a half when I realized that I was rushing too much and because of that, the book was becoming sloppy. I never got back to the book during NaNo or really since early November when I first abandoned it. And now, that book is on hold.

After that, I wrote a few short stories here and there, submitted them to various ezines, etc. and have been very pleased with the results. But I still want badly to finish a second novel since I feel it’ll be a huge improvement from my first, pitiful novel as my writing has improved a lot. And on December 18th, I began a new novel – a YA thriller – which I am really into at the moment.

So, to boost my energy and give me more of a push to write, I created my own personal NaNoWriMo. It’s more of a self-challenge as I said in the title, lasting from December 18th (the day I started) to January 18th. I don’t know if I’ll hit 50k words in that timeframe, but hopefully I’ll get close. So you may notice some lazy postings from here on out because I’m working on this. Anyway, I’ve created my own badge for it, which you’ll see at the top of this post. Tell me what you think of it!

Oh and this pic has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was pretty funny:

Morbid Mondays: Free eBook of the Week – Parallel Worlds

Blurb:

On the surface, the story is about a pair of teenagers, trapped in a parallel world.  They must retrieve information from their past lifetimes before they can return to their own world.  Yet underlying the story is a message so powerful, so life-changing and controversial, it has been concealed for thousands of years – because these truths are capable of changing our current world forever.

Why I Chose It:

I’m not really into epic fantasy anymore and honestly, this book seems only mildly interesting to me but I know a lot of people like it. I chose this book because its rating stats are absolutely insane (for Smashwords where there are very few readers). Off of 54 Smashwords reviews, this book has a 4.96 star rating! In total, it has 53 5-star reviews and one 3-star review. That’s insane! This book must be excellent! And it’s free!

Check out this book’s amazingly positive Smashwords page!
