It's almost November . . .

[smock]

And that means it's almost National Novel Writing Month!

If you're planning to participate in NaNoWriMo, head on over to the new NanoWriMo board to talk strategy, commiserate, and congratulate each other. If you aren't planning to participate, you can still come over and make fun of people trying to write novels.

<----- It's over there

And FYI, SmockSister did NaNo one year, edited her novel, and self-published on Amazon. In the last 2 months she's made $10k. NO JOKE. Holy shit, I need to do something with my dusty old NaNo novels.

I started something a few weeks ago before I remembered NaNoWriMo.

This is my year! I'm already ahead of the word count!

What?! How does payment work for something like that? How much does she get per purchase?

She gets paid by Amazon once a month at the end of the month. She gets to set her own price--she is selling her novel for $2.99, which means she gets 70% of every sale (about $2 per book). She's publishing a second book next month to rake in more dough.

Oh now we're supposed to believe there's a "SmockSister"

And she made 10k on her nanowrimo. Uh huh, suuuure.

Seriously, she's planning to use the money to have a benefit concert to pay for her wedding! Really!

My ultimate plan is to self publish, because after 4 years of writing this damn book every november I should at least get a $1.

...does posting on this board every day count?

[mrsukyankee]

I can't wait!

Oooh, this is actually perfect. I've been thinking about turning a kid's story FIL used to tell into a children's book (with illustrations).

So . . . will each picture equal 1,000 words?
