Meg + #NaNoWriMo = #MegsNoWriMo!

As I posted about at the beginning of the month, I couldn't take part in NaNoWriMo 2014 unfortunately, as a result of being too busy with teaching practice, but its something I've always wanted to do! So, I decided that, as I'm desperate to finish Books of Caledan 2 as soon as I can, I would do my own NaNoWriMo in January (aka #MegsNoWriMo)! Better late than never, right?

So. 50,000 words (and hopefully that will mean my novel is finished, or therabouts) in 31 days. 1,612 words per day on average. I'm setting myself a a target of 1,700 words per day.
