I did it. I signed up for the NaNoWriMo 50,000 word challenge. That means come Monday, it’s 1,500 words a day, no exceptions, until the long November sprint is over.
Several forum board buddies and I are gingerly sallying forth, knowing full well that we’ve failed before (failure, of course, is defined ONLY as failure to pile up all those words, nothing else) but what the hell, we’re going to give it another whack.
I hope to keep a diary somewhere online–but I’ll post Monday’s inaugural entry right here.
Meanwhile I recommend checking out the NaNoWriMo website. Those folks deserve tremendous credit for making their quirky vision into a solid, going thing, a real manifestation of a near-impossibility: drawing novelists, young or old, would-be or real, into an online community.
Thanks and a tip o’ the hat.
