I have to add that a straightforward novelette, even a novella without too many sub-plots or hidden themes, looks a decent prospect - for me, never mind a beginner.<br /><br />If I've done it correctly, here is Stuart's link, live: <a href="http://stuartaken.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/november-was-nanowrimo-month-so-what.html#Linda Acasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096791092366530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107450405599535563.post-10780955780314619202014-11-09T07:06:11.682+00:002014-11-09T07:06:11.682+00:00NaNoWriMo is definitely not for the faint-hearted....NaNoWriMo is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
