October is the month of near crazy. I am wondering where the month has gone. I have not gotten enough done though I have gotten some. As you might have noticed, I am still not writing my weekly blog. I do want to have some type of blog, though it will wait until the new year to see that forth that will take. Maybe I can do some vlog, though I have the face for radio and voice for text. I have published my book one of my Corrupted Stream Saga and I am working to publish the next. It should go up in the next week or so. I am working on my plans for next year, and I am changing my plans for the next two months.

Future Plans.

Last year I have told that I am no longer doing NaNoWriMo. I didn’t see a point in it. If you have followed my update posts, I have written a NaNo every month. January: 57,406. February: 47,811. March: 51041. April: 48,670. May: 50,038. June: 52,391. July: 67,439. August: 51,740. September: 67,848. October: 67,188. So this year, I am not doing a simple NaNo. The purpose of NaNoWriMo is to challenge a person to try something they think is hard. There is a myth that writing a novel will take most of a year to write. That it isn’t possible to write it faster.
A novel is a minimum of fifty thousand. Writing that in thirty days is 1,667 words per day. In the reach of most people. For me, my yearly average is 1,836 words a day. My average for the last few months is 2,262 and 2,167 words. So to keep the challenge a proper challenge, I am going to write 100k words. This is insane and I don’t think I will be successful. But I am not going to try.

This journey is not something I can do alone. It takes support from many people for it to become a reality. The easiest way is to visit my Amazon Author Page and purchase one of my books. They are available in all countries and for free in Kindle Unlimited. I have a tip jar set up at Ko-Fe, where you can buy me a coffee. Or you can also visit me on Facebook. Your help and support are much appreciated.
