National Novel Writing Month is coming up in just one more month!

Like a lot of working authors, I’m a bit of a non-traditionalist when it comes to NaNoWriMo, meaning that I never actually start a brand new book in the hopes of making it at least 50,000 words long by the end of the month.

Instead, what I end up doing is tacking a certain number of words onto one of my works in progress, getting to a certain point in editing one of my works in progress, or writing 50,000 words worth of articles for my work.

This year, I haven’t decided what my goal will be, but it will be to get as far as possible in one of my three works in progress that doesn’t even have a completed first draft yet. My choices are:

The sequel to Her Dark Highness: The Myth, The Magic. (This is the cover art for book 1, not book 2, because book 2 has no cover yet).

The sequel to Unicorn Hunting, Unicorn’s Revenge (Finishing this one is of the utmost importance, since book 1 is actually published).

Conjure Queen, which is a stand-alone and probably my favorite book to work on at the moment.

Which one should I concentrate on? The one closest to being done is Conjure Queen, but that doesn’t mean it’s that much closer to being finished than the other two. They’re all still unfinished first drafts, after all. The other two seem more urgent, seeing as they are both sequels to books that are completed. But it’s NaNoWriMo, the month of getting extremely motivated and writing as much as possible, so it doesn’t matter as much which one(s) I work on.
