NaNoWriMo...


Well it's that time of year again & I for one am scared. Nov. 1st is the beginning of yet another National Novel Writing Month, where thousands of of us would- be writers and hacks attempt to write a 175-page ( 50,000 word ) novel by midnight Nov. 30th. Oh the humanity! I participated a couple of years ago and my pitiful attempt can be seen here. I think I only got to 10,000 words. I tell ya, I was this close to having aliens land and take over the world. It was such a draining experience that I couldn't bring myself to do it last year but for some reason this year I'm itching to go through the painful process again. Let's all go through this pain together. I'm sure we all a story to tell. What do you say?

Go for it. I tried it last year and it was fun...I didn't finish...I'm too much into the details and I like to plan things out too much. I would like to take my current project and use NaNoWriMo but that's against the rules.

You can do it. I'm waiting for NaPoWriMo in April!

Best of luck. I've tried the past two years and haven't made it, I'm hoping my 3rd time's the charm.
