| Last November 310,095 participants tried their hand at writing a novel. Or at least that's how many were registered for this event. Well, this year I'm going to go for it. Are you? National Novel Writing Month, lovingly called NaNoWriMo for short, challenges you to write 50,000 words in 30 days. For those who are bad at math, that equals a lot of writing, every day. The challenge commences today and I am responding to the thrown gauntlet with candor. By this time next month I'll have a first draft of a manuscript tucked under my arm everywhere I go and I will be haughtily referring to myself as a 'Novelist'. To celebrate this month and my new illustrious career as a writer, I am doing a give-away of my first book on Goodreads. Keep Halloween going with my darkly twisted short stories. If you haven't read #lovingthealien yet, or if you want to get another one for your friends, head to Goodreads and get a free copy now! Offer ends in four weeks. | Goodreads Book Giveaway #Lovingthealienby Peter HazenGiveaway ends December 01, 2014. See the giveaway details at Goodreads. |
