Here We Go Again
Well November is fast approaching and the thoughts of writers turn to the insanity of the NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month. This will be my second kick at the can. Last year during the insanity that was International Greed Enablement Corp and the beloved one, I started and quickly got no where.
This year only the name of the insanity has changed. I have no more time on my hands at Gigantic Concrete and the pressures and the demands of the job are, shall we say, strenuous. But sometimes there is value attempting what you know deep down inside is crazy. This will be my subordinate clause too far.
So what is this craziness you ask? Well nothing more than crafting a novel of at least 50,000 words in the space of one month. Yep 50K in 30 days. That’s only 1666 or so words a day. Easy right? Well if you are so inclined to follow the literary lemmings over the cliff, then select the link to the right and dive in.

I wish you luck. Are you going to blog your efforts???
I will likely blog the process and the pieces that I like, unless I hit the dreaded block again.
I will be cheering for you. If you get block this year, maybe some of the many people online doing the same project will be able to help you out of it.
:-)
Well thanks for the encouragement
good luck on your entry too
Over a thousand words a day … looks like a tall order for me. But i’ll do a check and see how I average on word count for my posts. Looking forward to reading your posts in NaNoWriMo, Ric!
Watson thanks for the support. You should give it a try too! Who knows, maybe you have the great novel of the Phillipines waiting to bust out!
Georgia Jones’s tip for NanoWriMo — do a rough outline in October. She’s at www.odiouswoman.blogspot.com.
Rachel - Thanks for the link and the tip. Both appreciated.
