Just recently (yesterday, in fact), one of my favorite authors, Camy Tang, posted a guest blog on my blog to promote her newest book, Single Sashimi. And since the hype is already here, and I know she also participates in NaNoWriMo, I asked her if she could write a post about the said event. Here’s an excerpt of her post:

I LOVE NaNoWriMo. The original version of Only Uni, which at the time was titled “The Corinthian Rules,” was pounded out during a NaNoWriMo a few years ago.

Then, the published version of Only Uni (I kept only about 10% of the original “Corinthian Rules”) was pounded out at another NaNoWriMo a few years later.

Basically, NaNoWriMo rocks! Who knows how long it would have taken me to write those two manuscripts otherwise?

My biggest problem with my NaNo manuscript is plotting it before the month of November. I am NOT a pantser, I am an anal retentive plotter, and I need to know everything that happens before I start writing.

So the prep time for NaNo is pretty extensive for me. Which can be a drag, because often it takes longer than I think it will.

I usually rely on a few tools in my arsenal…

Yes, I intended to cut it there so you would actually hop over there and read. ;) Camy will be joining NaNoWriMo again this year, so she’ll also be with us in the crazy month ahead! Wohoo!

TWO AND A HALF DAYS LEFT! :)
