I’m Taking Part in NaNoWriMo!

I’ve decided to take the plunge this year and enter National Novel Writers Month (NaNoWriMo) although it’s probably not in my best interests. : ) Yes, its the wild and crazy challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days, which is something like 1667 words a day. That’s not too bad, but of course it’ll be on top of my freelancing work. Hmm…I just might have to pick up some temporary work that month.

The site recommends that I tell everyone I know about my entry so that I don’t give up and risk looking like a complete fool in front of my friends and family halfway through the month, so this is what I’m doing. During November, if I’m not dead tired and suffering from wrist strain, I’ll keep you updated on my progress. Otherwise you can just go to my NaNoWriMo profile and check out my daily word count and get some excerpts from the book I’ll be working on.

I have an idea about a story to write, but don’t really know if it will be enough for an actual book. : ( We’ll see…If anyone wants to join in NaNoWriMo and be one of my writing buddies feel free! We can cheer each other to the 50,000 word mark, or maybe 30,000 words, 20,000?…Hmmm.
