Hey everyone! It’s Clara Kensie, back with a new Question of the Week! Pretty much the only thing writers love as much as writing is talking about writing. So each week here at Adventures in YA Publishing, I post a question for you to answer. The questions cover all topics important to writers: craft, career, writers’ life, reading and books. Together we’ll become better writers by sharing tips and discussing our habits and practices.

Hello, my lovelies! I’m working on revisions for the sequel to RUN TO YOU (deadline is December 1), so I’m going to keep the Questions of the Week short and sweet until then. You guys don’t mind, do you? I’m sure you have a lot of writing to do, too! Especially if you answer YES to the Question of the Week:

MY ANSWER: Sadly, no. The timing just didn’t work out for me. Although I’ll be spending hours and hours (and hours and hours) writing in November, I will be finishing the revisions on my book, not writing 50,000 shiny new words on a new manuscript. I did NaNo two years ago and won it, hooray! I hope the timing will work out for next year, because the camaraderie and support of NaNo is so inspiring and fun.

YOUR TURN: Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this year? If so, what are you writing? Is this your first time or are you a veteran? What kind of preparations do you do for NaNo? Or, do you just jump in and pants your manuscript without a plan?
