Book Squirt

Writing A Book

One of my best friends dragged me into writing a book. Abigail (the friend who  wrote this poem) is a writer, and she has been very excited for Camp NaNoWriMo to start.

Camp NaNoWriMo is the summer version of NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and the goal is to write a book in a month. Not edit it, but get it all written in a month.

So because Abigail was not letting up on me, I started.

My book is called “I Am The Princess Korana”.

It is about a girl named Maria who finds out that she is a princess several days after her 16th birthday. You can read several excerpts and see my word counts here:

I am not sure what I am going to do with it when I am done writing it. Some of my friends think I should publish it. I don’t know what will happen, but I know I am glad that Abigail talked me into it. I am having lots of fun just writing it out. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when I am done with it.

**Edited to add**

I decided to change her age to 18. It fit better with what I needed. 🙂

    Wow, a book. How exciting! I write poems and short stories, too, and enjoy it. Mostly for my own enjoyment and my family but I have considered
    publishing my poetry, too. Just never had the courage to get it out there.
    I hope you do, though, as your writing is very good. Good luck to you.
