			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years I have been writing mini-novels and really long novels. However, I have kept them carefully hidden away from public view. Then three years ago I discovered the world&#8217;s largest writing contest. There are no prizes for winning but each November thousands of people from around the world begin a wonderful journey to write 50,000 words in just thirty days.</p>
<p>I have managed to win each year and now I am busy editing three different novels. Working on a couple short stories and getting ready to start NaNoWriMo in November. For anyone interested NaNoWriMo is free and open to anyone. Visit <a href="http://www.NaNoWriMo.com">www.NaNoWriMo.com</a> for more info. I am also the co-ML for Las Vegas where we get together for write-in and a 72 hour write a thon. It is a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Now however my goals have changed.  I am no longer writing just to write. My goal is to become published. I am focused on editing and re-writing with the hope others will want to read something I authored.</p>
<p>I plan on keeping everyone updated here on my journey to become published, as well as, the NaNoWriMo saga which is about to begin.</p>
<p>So, come along with me on this journey of literary abandon and see where the path leads.</p>
