It's NaNo time again

October 30th, 2008

I haven’t mentioned much about it on here so far, but I’ve talked about it quite a bit on livejournal. In two days National Novel Writer’s Month begins. This is a month, where a variety of people from all walks of life pledge to write 50′000 words thus completing or getting a really good start on a novel of any genre they see fit.

This means that you have to write at least 1667 words per day in order to complete your goal. I’ve participated in this since 2004, but have only “won” once in 2006. Last year my novel writing exploits were cut tragically short because with pending eviction I dropped writing in favor of finding a place for us to live. I may be crazy but I’m not THAT crazy.

This year I’m once again planning on burning my fingers to nubs rattling them across the keyboard in order to finish my work. I have plans and mappings and an understanding. I’m just hoping that come November 1st I can actually narrow down my starting point so that things will flow seemlessly (ha!) through and I can complete the novel on time.

Of course, I have a two year old to contend with, but given our mortgage will be wending it’s way to State Farm head offices tomorrow we shouldn’t have any problems with housing that will affect my ability to write.

We shall see how things go! Best of luck to fellow crazies writers as November begins!
