I mentioned that last year I competed in NANOWRIMO. I completed the competition with over 51,000 words, and then continued to finish my novel with a total of 67, 000 words. Everyone then asks, well, when are you going to have it published? They have no idea what this entails. No publisher accepts manuscripts anymore. You need an agent to get your novel "discovered." However, there are a few things called self-publishing companies. I've done all kinds of research on all of this, and my husband and I are still praying about what to do next. God will have to direct us greatly. However, if He provides us with about 2,000 dollars, I do have what seems like a good opportunity for publication through a place called Cross Books. It's what seems the best option at the time (minus the lack of money.)
This year, my novel seems like it might be a little bit darker than Anca (last year's novel). We shall see how it turns out, but yes, I do have a plot and character already in mind for November. 15 days!

- Marriage and motherhood is an adventure; one that I have embarked on. Even though I graduated with a degree in English, I am currently a stay at home wife/mom. I love to write, cook, read, and many other things. I know that God is faithful, no matter what stage of life I am in, so I rely on Him. Por siempre Dios es fiel!
