NaNoWriMo
Have you ever wanted to write a novel and not yet gotten around to it? What stopped you? Did you not know how to start? Did you not have the time? Were you scared it would suck?
Well, for those of you who finally want to take the plunge and bang out a piece of literary work, there is support for you. NaNoWriMo.org is the site for National Novel Writing Month, where people sign up and then proceed to try and write a novel of at least 175 pages (50,000 words) by the end of November. The site provides a forum where people can gripe, give tips, give support, or just procrastinate.
I've signed up and have begun the process of crafting my own craptacular masterpiece. I have a lot of work to do in the month ahead and I may or may not post snippets of the text here. Regardless of how everything turns out, this should be rather interesting. Wish me luck!
