Hello readers! Just a quick update before I return to my
writing cave.
This week you have to live on Mars not to know that
NaNoWriMo has started. It’s a yearly challenge where thousands of participants
attempt to write a novel of 50,000 words in the month of November. I did it for
the first time last year and I’m doing it again this year. If you haven’t
joined in yet, it’s not too late. Just click the link to go to the NaNoWriMo
website and register. To all participants, happy writing!
On other book news, Nnedi Okorafor’s fantasy novel Who Fears
Death, set in post-apocalyptic Africa, has won the Fantasy Novel of the Year
award. Indeed it is a book that has won several awards and critical
acclaim. I highly recommend it if you
haven’t read it already. Check our Nnedi’s website for more about the book. You
can also read the news article in the Guardian.
