My real goal of NovMo is to just write as much as I can manage, but let's say 50K total word count for the lofty goal. :)

The novel I'll be working on for this November is my WIP adaptation of the fairy tale "Rapunzel" set in an alternative historical China (read: fictional dynasty probably in another world). There is another little twist that I am currently not planning to share with everybody, but I am quite pleased with it (iykyk).

I am very excited to name my Rapunzel character after a Chinese vegetable. It's hilarious and probably one of my favorite things about the whole project.
