Hey Michelle, this was a cute video. Good luck on your writing. NaNoWriMo sounds hard; 50,000 words? Wow. I think I will just stick to reading what you authors write. :)
You're right. 50,000 words IS hard. Here's my dirty little secret. I'm changing that goal to a mere 10,000, which will be hard enough with company staying at my house and Thanksgiving in the mix for November.
I entered, but I'm kind of cheating, since I already have 16K words done. However, I'm a slower writer so it'll equal out. And don't worry, we'll find you a stellar opening line!
Could you find me a publisher as well? Please? Excessive eyelash batting.
You know that was actually the first video on this site I think I ever watched since I started commenting on this site! I think I once started a story 'the night was cold and dark', it was in an English class I think.
The only that I will be writing before the first of November are assignments. The Battle of St Albans, Anglo French negotiations, sedition and Lollard uprisings before the Agincourt campaign.
Work aside though, I do have some characters up there in my head somewhere (though I think some may have dubious semi plagaristic basis). How does the vengeful son of one Sheriff William Heselrig bent on revenge on the Wallace clan sound?
I'm lucky if I write a letter... you go girl !
Hi Michelle, I am with you on the NaNoWriMo. I have never done it but I am trying it this year. I just finished my first novel and it is now in the hands of others to give me honest feedback. So I need to take my mind of that book and focus on something new. And, like you, I have no idea how I am going to start :)

Thanks RD!
And 5020...I'll see you at the beginning of the race on Nov. 1st!
