I'm a newbie! I had heard of NaNoWriMo before, but I always remembered about it at the end of November. This year, I'm ready to go!

I was glad to have attended the prep session on 10/15, and I feel very energized and ready to take on the NaNoWriMo challenge. I am telling lots of friends about it, so they'll keep me honest and keep me writing. I expect I'll be burning the midnight oil to get it done, but fortunately I love coffee.

This is the first time I'm describing my novel premise to anyone, so feel honored as you read this. Even my husband doesn't know:

A college student in need of money takes on a lucrative job as a personal assistant to a wealthy, older gentleman. Only after signing an unbreakable contract does he discover that his new employer is a 200-year-old vampire. Life-changing and life-threatening consequences ensue as he becomes entangled in his employer's dark family history while still trying to earn his degree.

I've got a good chunk of the book planned out in my mind, though I'm still not sure about the ending. Hopefully it'll unfold as I get going. Happy writing to you all! Hope to see you at some write-ins.
