The 'write a novel in the month of November challenge' nears. I did it two years ago and actually produced a readable 55K word book. That novel is now in 3rd draft at 75K and awaiting critique next month. This year I'm going to try the challenge again. I'm noodling a sequel to The Sixth Helix (to be published in 2019) and can't wait for Nov.1st's starter pistol.
