After
a long think, I’ve decided not to take part in NaNoWrimo this year. Last year
it was for health reasons, this year it’s more to do with wanting to focus on
several goals rather than one full out novel in a month. I’ll confess, I’m not
happy that I had to pass up on NaNoWrimo again but I do feel it would have been
rushed and would not be the way I wanted to be.
That
said, next year I WILL be participating and I WILL do all the prep work leading
up to November. For those curious, it will be a fantasy novel based on Greek mythology and it
will be very bloody. Although part of me wishes me to throw caution to the
wind and do it, I’d rather do things the right way… which is why I’m going to bust my ass
this month as if I WERE doing NaNoWrimo and below is my To Do List. I’ll be
updating it using #NaNoEstrada as a hashtag, while I root for my NaNoWriming brethren. The
mission is to finish several WIPs and start pushing for my new books for 2017
when I go back to the Puerto Rico Comic Con. I will also push myself really
hard in social media and other things and show just how much you can achieve in
one month when you channel energies that could otherwise stunt your progress.
So without further ado, my NaNoEstrada To Do List:

you want to keep up with my progress, search #NaNoEstrada and if you feel me
slacking, by all means crack the whip. This marks the first blog post, but rest
assured there’s A LOT more to come.
Btw, here's how I will monitor my progress... and like the Rolling Stones said I want to see it painted BLACK.
Peace, love, and maki rolls.
