NaNoWriMo 2018 is coming fast and furious and I'm currently rooted in my preparations for the 50,000 words in 30 days challenge (term Prep_tober coined by Rachael Stephen).
In order to force myself to finish projets, I like to keep to only one active project, and I haven't complete my manuscript from 2016-17 The Compendium of Curiosities and Impractical Magic which would normally mean I'd be a NaNo rebel and try to add another 50,000 words to that manuscript. But I'm feeling motivated to write on a new idea and motivation is key to success in the NaNo challenge, so break my own rule, I must.
My new novel-to-be, Revenge Served Neat, is part mystery, part thriller: When Lydia “Liddy” Randall’s husband, Nick, dies on what should have been the most significant night of his budding political career, she thinks it’s the worst night of her life. But the night before the funeral, the police arrive at her door to tell her that Nick’s heart attack appears to have been triggered intentionally by an overdose of a prescription medication, making the recent acquisition of a high dollar figure life insurance policy for Nick very suspicious and changing her from grieving spouse into the number one murder suspect. Liddy must dig through Nick’s life and hers to figure out who would want him dead before she’s charged with murder and loses custody of her children to her enraged mother-in-law.
See the cover on my Works In Progress page - it's fabulous! I purchased it from SelfPubBookCovers.com. (I'm not affiliated or compensated by them in any way.)
Over the few remaining days in October (only 21 to go!), I'll be posting a bit about my planning process. For now, if you'd like to know more about NaNoWriMo or are interested in taking the NaNoWriMo challenge: visit NaNoWriMo.org
