Even though I just wrote yesterday that I was planning to participate in BuNoWriMo, my plans have changed. A woman has a right to change her mind, right?
Thanks to Rebecca Bradley at Life in Clarity, I learned about the May - you write your novel blog, created by Quillers. The goal is the same as BuNoWriMo, completing a novel, but the challenge lasts for 80 days instead of 30. I'm a little late to the party as it started on May 1, but I still have a good 71 days to work with, so I'm just jumping in and I'm excited to see how it goes.
I was excited to learn of the June challenge, but a bit nervous about it at the same time as it seemed a little overwhelming. I think this extended challenge period will be a great way for me to get my feet wet with novel writing challenges without getting stressed out. Thanks to Quillers for this opportunity!
Now I'm hoping I can keep to this plan for more than one day! ;)
Good luck! You can do it!
ReplyDeletegood luck with your challenge. I think 1000 words a day is a good goal. Plus sometimes taking your time means that you really think about things as you write. I don't always do that during NaNoWriMo.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds much more reasonable to me. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYES, a girl CAN change her mind! This sounds terrific - best of luck!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer, thank you!
ReplyDelete@Carrie, thanks! Yeah, I think 1000 words a day is much more manageable, even though I have some catching up to do.
@LG, thank you, I hope it will be.
@Melissa, thanks! :)
Good luck with you challenge , hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,

Good luck Julie.
ReplyDeleteWow, good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you're jumping into another challenge so soon! I know you'll do a fantastic job! I can't wait to read your novel approach! Julie
ReplyDelete@Yvonne, thank you!
ReplyDelete@Sandi, thanks so much! LOL, I'm hoping I can cure my laziness by trying another challenge.
@Julie, thank you!
@Becky, thanks so much.
@Julie, thank you, I really appreciate it. :)
Hey, good luck with that - LOL. All kidding aside, 80 days makes much more sense to me. If you've done all the pre-work, 80 days should get you close to a solid first draft. If I was ready to begin on my new project, I'd join you. But I'll just be finishing up my WIP.
ReplyDelete@Carol, thanks! Ha ha, I hope 80 days will work for me, fingers crossed. Best of luck with finishing up your WIP! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, 71 days is much more doable than 30. You can do it! You'll learn a lot. Good luck. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds very wise. More time is always better. I think so anyway. :)
ReplyDeletesounds good - me I'm avoiding all challenges for a bit. maybe I could get up and brush my teeth every day. yah, that.

@Michelle, thanks! I hope I can learn a lot with it, so far, so good for this week at least.
ReplyDelete@M Pax, I agree, I always go for more time. :)
@Jan, ha, sometimes that's hard enough. :D
