NaNoWriMo

I’ve been hearing about this NaNoWriMo thing here and there for about a month, and I’ve finally figured out what it is. It’s National Novel Writing Month. I read up on it, thought about it for a few minutes, and then I thought… What a perfect opportunity to get in gear and finish Seasons Past!

The deal is, you’ve got thirty days (the month of November) to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel. I’m sure the general idea is an entire novel, but hey, I’ve got a job and a life and I’m really not all that far into Seasons Past.

I’ll try to keep you posted this month as to how it’s going. I’m excited!

    @Amanda: Nope, I haven’t. Isn’t that pathetic? It kinda dropped off. Anyhow, I’ll be working on it tomorrow!

    Sweet. Good luck with that. I hate writing, though when I have to (like for school) I’m actually quite a good writer. It just bores me usually. So congrats on your efforts and your newfound drive to finish your story. I look forward to reading the……. plot summary.

    Haha, did I forget to mention? I hate reading too. :)
