Yeah, I’m still alive. *g*

And I’m getting ready to participate in NANOWRIMO, or National Novel Writing Month. I need to get some serious wordage down on my next novel-length project and I’m thinking NANO is the way to do it.

What is NANO, you may ask. Well, it’s a national (and now international) event in which writers, both published and not, pledge to write a 50k novel during the month of November.

There’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s the gist. If you really want to know more, go to the NANO web site and you can read all about it. And maybe even sign up yourself, if you’re bent that way. *g*

Anyway, my plan is to write 2,000 words every day during November, no exceptions, not even Thanksgiving, until at the end of the month I have 60k toward my next project.

So wish me luck.

I’ll be checking in here throughout the month to let you know how I’m doing, so check back often and give me some encouragement. I have a feeling I may need it.

Phoenix got another fantastic review. This one from Teresa at Fallen Angel. She says in part,

“Ms. Gardner has created an incredible story that portrays the coming out of one man and how those people around him effect the decisions he makes I his life. The plot line of the story was very compelling from the start keeping the reader riveted to see what would happen next. I loved how Adam refused to give up in spite of the odds that were against him. Jimmy always believed the good I people and when things turned for the worst, he still tried to do his best. Daren with his many flaws is a fascinating character to read. In all, I found this book an incredible read and would definitely recommend it to others to read. Thanks go to Ms. Gardner for a remarkable story.”
