I just joined NaNoWriMo 2009… attempting to write a novel from Nov 1st to Nov 30th. Its all outlined after yesterday and tonight I’ll be updating my first word count to the site.

My novel is currently codenamed “Avatar” - which will certainly not be its final title. The sanskrit definition of “avatar” is hint to the psychology/philosophy of the main character.

This will be the story of an active serial killer that has been working under the radar for years because of a very unique modus operandi. Obviously I cannot devulge too much info here yet.

I wanted to do this as an excuse to venture away from the two extremely complex novels that I have been working on through the last couple years. It will be nice to take a break and just write for the fun of writing. A tale that doesn’t dare attempt to live up to “The Great American Novel” delusions of grandure  but to serve as an escape for the reader. One can never go wrong with a good ol’ murder mystery!

Of course I shall keep you all updated…
