NaNoWriMo: Title Page
Its been really slow going, this writing a novel. Its seven days into the month and I've started it three times. The first two times fizzled out. But, now I think I have a solid idea, one that will encompass the previous two fizzles so I won't lose anything in the word count department...
Not that there was much to lose.
As previously mentioned, I appear to be writing a chick lit title. At first, I didn't know how I felt about this. Although, I have read a fair amount of chick lit, it is not my favorite genre. I'd much rather read memoirs or biographies or fiction. (Although, I honestly spend most of my time reading academic tomes, most of which deal with the subjects of language, rhetoric and the brain. Does this surprise anyone?) I got to thinking about it and it seems to me that the reason I was not too sure about writing "chick lit" was that I was surprised that those were the first ideas to spring out of me.
So far I've written about 600 words (well behind pace. In order to reach 50,000 words by November 30th, one would have to write about 1,667 words a day.) I am tentatively calling it "Study Questions". It is about a group of friends going through Graduate/Professional school.
Does the topic really surprise you that much?
