Gallons and NaNoWriMo 2024

I participated in National Novel Writing Month again this year. I have been making a habit of doing all three NaNoWriMo events each year. The big one, of course is in November. This November, my novel, Gallons was really part 2 of the manuscript Go Home Go Home that I wrote in July.

Gallons finds us in Denver, Fourteen and Josephine, specifically. I took a partly sympathetic and partly deviled look at the residence of the house that finds itself as a setting in both Dysphoric Notions and Go Home Go Home.

What I find astounding about NaNoWriMo is that after a little planning, some practice and a moderate amount of discipline, it is not difficult to write a novel in 30 days. Indeed, I do it in about 21 days.

I think for anyone who wants to write a novel and can't figure out where or how to start, NaNoWriMo is the only way to go.
