Mood:
incredulousI am going to attempt to participate in National Novel Writer's Month again this year.
Things are rather busy, what with two jobs, full-time school, a kid who's a high school senior and all kinds of other stuff going on, but ... it's NaNoWriMo. It's become a tradition, and I look forward to it every year now.
The object of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50-thousand word novel in one month. The month of November, to be exact. I've only finished this task once -- the first year I tried it, in 2003. Oh, it was a forgettable novel that wasn't very good -- but it had a beginning, middle and end, fully realized plots and characters and I DID it.
After all those years of saying, "Someday I'll write a book", I did it. And that's the point of NaNoWriMo: to just write it. Throw caution to the wind and type away.
So that's it. I'm back in the race!
