Reading
As always, with four Saturdays this month, I plan on reading four books. Here are the books I plan to read, in no particular order:
1. Jack Gregson and the Forgotten Portal by Peter Wilson
2. Graven Idols by Jessica Dall
3. Joy School by Elizabeth Berg
4. Corrupted by Lisa Scottoline
Writing
It’s NaNoWriMo time! I’ve decided to write short stories this year so I can focus on editing as well as get a head start on content for the blog for 2017. So, this is what I hope to accomplish in November:
1. Write 50,000-words worth of short stories (hopefully write 52 shorts total)
2. Edit Side Effect (Kris’s novel. She’ll be editing The Lost Girl for me in the meantime)
3. Plan George Florence series (I’m still slowly figuring this one out)
Blogging
I’ve written all my November posts (the ones that can be written in advance, I mean). So anything I work on for the blog will be for December or in prep for 2017.
1. Finish last minute November posts
2. Start on December and January posts
3. Finish the first part of a monthly feature that will begin on November 15 (this has been a slow-going thing as well… I can’t wait for it to be finished)
Overall
Between NaNo, work, the holidays, having a social life with friends and family, and other things, this is going to be an interesting month. A good month, but certainly interesting.
What are your goals for November? Are you participating in NaNoWriMo? Let me know in the comments!

I’m doing nanowrimo! For the very first time. I’ve done about 1400 words today and I’ve hit a blank. Don’t know how you guys do it! But I’m so excited for it!!!! Can’t wait to read your short stories. π
That’s awesome! What’s your username on NaNo? We should be writing buddies.
I try to write 2k a day because it gets me a tiny bit ahead. November is a crazy month without NaNo. Adding NaNo just makes you insane, lol.
I know. And it reduces blog traffic π«. I’m mybookjacket there as well. π
I’m Fiery_Sapphire. I just added you!
Ooooo. I’ll get online and add you. ^_^
Thanks!
Scottoline, my friend loves her novels. With which do you think I should start? Which have you read and enjoyed?
This will be my first novel by her. My mom read it and gave it to me saying I’d enjoy it.
I love November.
I do, too!
I hope we both have a productive one.
I think we will. π
Wow, you are ambitious. Don’t forget to get out and exercise. I have to plan around that all the time!
I exercise at work. I teacher special ed. preschool and babysit. π
But yes, I do make time for friends and family and such. π
