I Write to Burn Off the Crazy.
The Published Ramblings of a Confused Michiganian |

Hello there! I hope that if you are doing NaNoWriMo this year, this post finds you not too frazzled nearing the end of your first week. And, if you are not doing NaNo this year, please forgive me another post about it, but I felt that I had to clarify. I am not doing a standard NaNo this year, even though NaNo is responsible for 4 out of 5 of my finished novels. The novel I want to write this time does not lend itself to NaNo well and will be my first plotted novel. You see, I found out about 800 words in, that you cannot write an alternate history without knowing what the real history is to begin with. So, in lieu of 50,000 words this November, I am devoting the month of November to researching and planning my novel. I am excited but also a twee bit daunted by the prospect of plotting, it being my first time and all, but there is no other way to write this book since it is about real people and not just characters that live only in my head. So wish me luck and expect a few more blog posts about my trials, tribulations, and hopefully triumphs as a novice plotter. Keep Writing and Edit On.

Cold Comfort - Monsters in Spaaaace! AuthorMy name is Jen Haeger and I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine as well as a Master's in Forensic Science, so I decided to forget all that and write novels. I used to read quite a bit as a youth, but was not introduced to truly spectacular writing until my husband showed me the works of Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and others. We are both enormous dorks and enjoy Science Fiction, Fantasy, Board Games, and RPGs, but also try to get out backpacking every once in a while (much easier to do when we lived in New Zealand).
