NaNo WriMo


I decided to try NaNo WriMo. Its the National Novel Writing Month contest to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I signed up this morning but it doesn't start until November 1st. I love this kind of thing. Obviously it's not going to be the best writing I've ever done, but I've been hung up lately editing myself. I spend too much time trying to rewrite the five pages I've already written and spend very little time writing new words.

This is going to force me to just shut up and write. If I don't blog much in November at least you'll know why. Every last word I can make my fingers type needs to be included in the contest. I'm so glad I started drinking coffee again... surely that'll help.
You know... I'm kinda scared.

Good luck. I've considered that one a couple of times and chickened out. This year I'm trying the 30 poems in 30 days so I won't feel like I'm the only one not writing in November.
