Last November, I participated in NaNoWriMo and wrote an entire novel in a month. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it challenges people to write 50,000 words during November. I finished The Ring then and then worked on editing it during the next few months. I also started contacting agents to try and get the book published. My book was published!This entry was posted in Reading Writing and tagged Book writing on August 21, 2019 by Sarah Anne Carter
