2013 Will Be The Year

I have decided that 2013 will be the year. It's time! No more excuses, no more nothing. This will be the year I finish at least one novel.

I will participate in Wriye, NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo. This means that year 2013 will be about writing. All the so called extra time I have, I will write. Silly me started this blog. I have to write even more, because obviously I will have to blog about my year. 

I have dreamed about writing a book for all of my life. In December 2012 I realized it will happen now. I've been writing my whole life and I write for a living. 

This will most likely be the hardest challenge I've ever been crazy to go for. 

I now have several good ideas for my novels. My plan is to write five-six novels off and on, on and off. During April I will attend Camp NaNoWriMo and during November NaNoWriMo. This means that during these two months I will focus on one novel per month. During the rest of the year I will write according to feeling. This is my plan, but plans may change. 

I have not yet set a goal for WriYe, but I'll do it before the end of 2012. 

I have now studied techniques about novel writing. I have also gone through a whole bunch of programs for novel writing. I couldn't be more grateful to How To Write A Book Now. I don't know what I would do without this website. 

I have decided to use several different programs. Thank you My Writing Spot, yWriter, Storybook and LitLift. There might be more. I will use at least The Snowflake Method, Dramatica Model and The W-Plot.

This is a lot to take in and this is why I started this blog. I want to write about what I'm doing. I think I will understand my process if I keep a diary about what I'm doing, thinking, writing, trying, failing, gaining and succeeding. 

I will write my novels in both English and in Finnish. This might be confusing, but because I write in both languages it's easier for me to keep up with my work by blogging in both languages. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Give me mercy for my dream :)

Start writing. It all starts with a single word!
