In thirty short days, this year's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins. Participants have 30 days (the month of November) to write a 175-page, 50,000-word novel. As you might imagine, this isnt a contest for the faint of heart. But for those of us who find enjoyment in creating written art, there is no other rush that can satisfy.
If you're interested in joining me this year, you can sign up at www.nanowrimo.org. Its free to join, and theres no penalty for "losing." Actually, theres no prize for "winning," either, except the novel you'll have in your hands. And THAT, my friends, is the whole point.
This will be my second attempt at NaNoWriMo, but only my first with preparation and determination. My outline is almost done. The novel has been tentatively titled "On the First Day." I cant wait.
