This is my first year participating as a Municipal Liaison for NaNo.  I couldn’t be more excited.  Since October 1, my region has grown by over 500 members.  We’ve raised over $300 for the Office of Letters and Light and since Monday, Nov. 1, we’ve written over 800,000 words.

Not to brag, but I’m most proud of my region.  Wrimos in the Connecticut Shoreline are off to a strong start and producing some great plots for their novels.

Of course, I’m working on one of my own as well.  Titled “The Granite Rose,” my novel explores time travel, murder and historical fiction.  The test will be whether or not I can write a story that will support all three.  December may come along and I may decide to scrap some of it, or even start over.

Want to check out the CT Shore region?  We’d be glad to have you stop by and remember…it’s never too late to join.  If you’ve ever considered writing a novel, but weren’t sure how you’d ever find the time, NaNo might be just the thing.

In other news, I’m looking forward to December 1 because that’s when the first issue of Fictitious Magazine.  Submissions for this issue are open until November 19, 2010.  The editor is wonderful to work with.

Please stay tuned on ReadMReed.  The site is still under construction, but the forum will be up soon.  The forum will be home to writing tips, information, groups, etc…so be sure to check it out!  If you want to keep abreast of updates here at RMR, use the “subscribe” option on the right side of the page.
