So, I suppose I forgot to post here about NaNoWriMo. Despite the graphic and countdown on the ME Home Page, and the forum specifically for discussing it, some people aren’t entirely aware that National Novel Writing Month (the real, official one) is starting in just a day and a half. Or that I’m participating.
Well, I am. Still no job (though I found one I’m going to apply for in ASU’s computer department) so finding the time to write an entire novel should be easy. In case you aren’t aware, the rules are simple; begin not earlier than 12:00:01 AM November 1st, finish not later than 11:59:59PM November 30th, and write a complete novel of at least 50,000 words. You should try it. It only takes about 1700 words a day, if you write every day, and there’s nothing in the rules about quality.
So, there. I’ve posted about it. I’m working on some other site updates that are taking a lot of my time, but when I’m through with those, I may be able to post more. I’m trying to get it all done before Friday.
Other than work, sleep, time with my wife, a few other odds and ends, and that silly webcomics hobby of mine i occasionally dabble in, my slate is relatively clear for writing this coming month. I spent last weekend finishing the second half of my Chemistry non-lab class, and I’m all caught up on my kitten-urine induced needlepoint tripping, so I’m all set.
