Hello! I decided to start an official thread for us since it's practically time, right?
I figured we could post a bit about what we're writing and keep track of our word counts here. The parts in bold are for you to answer about your project as well! Let's encourage and help each other along this month.
It's still early morning for me, just sipping on my coffee and getting ready to start writing my shiny, brand new novel.
DAILY GOAL: 1700 words to keep up with the 50k in a month pace. Just do what you can though. Participating in a regular writing habit is really the point of NaNoWriMo.
What I'm working on: Sweethearts & Jazz (Vintage 40's book 2). It's a sweet historical romance set in Portland, 1946. Tropes are coworker and fake relationship romance. It plays off book 1 where the heroine (Lila) was the main antagonist. In this book, she hires the hero (her coworker) to make her ex jealous. It sounds silly but this trope is one of my favorites, lol! They fall in love from all the pretending. Setting is Rex Theatre, where the heroine is the lead in a musical and the hero is a stagehand (her ex-boyfriend/hero from the first book is also a volunteer stagehand). So the backdrop is a playhouse.
Inspiration: The 1940's are some of my favorite historical years. The heroine's inspiration comes from Rosie in When Calls The Heart.
*Your turn!*
