Journey On June
June 1-30, 2024
June will be spent researching, researching, and researching! Silent Whiskey will require a TON of research, so I’ll need a full month to kickstart my research process. What better way to start than with the Journey On June: 4 Weeks, 40K challenge.
Camp NaNoWriMo
July 1-31, 2024
July will be another month of researching since June was such a bust! Thank goodness Camp NaNoWriMo allows you to set your own goals. Mine will be to write 20,000 words worth of research. I’ll also be narrowing down my characters this month.
1 Year Countdown
August 1-31, 2024
August will be spent working through Book in a Month by Victoria Lynn Schmidt and narrowing down my one-year timeline for the publication of Silent Whiskey, which will be released in August 2025.
September is for Scenes & Setting
September 1-30, 2024
September is well, you guessed it when I’m going to start pulling together my scenes and my settings. I’m also planning on making a trip or two in the early fall to some local spots that could serve as inspiration for Silent Whiskey.
Preptober
October 1-31, 2024
October will be my final push to get everything prepped to begin my first draft of Silent Whiskey in November. I’ll take one final look at my characters, setting, scenes, and anything else I need for the big event: NaNoWriMo 2024!
NaNoWriMo 2024
November 1-30, 2024
It is finally here – NaNoWriMo 2024! I will be taking part in my first NaNoWriMo as Melissa Poole and writing the first draft of Silent Whiskey during NaNoWriMo 2024. Look for regular blog and Instagram posts throughout October (Preptober) and November.
