NaNoWriMo -- Play-by-play action of the insanity

Typically, my blog readership drops off during November. Yep, it's all NaNoWriMo's fault. (Dang, that word is impossible to type right the first time.)

Well, this year I'll be joining the insanity -- and posting my word count here every day. My posts may be short; some may be long, rambling rants; and a few might be one, big scream. I dunno what's gonna happen.

And since my every waking moment will be consumed with reaching at least 1700 words a day (while working my full-time day job and maintaining some semblance of a life), I thought I'd blog during November about what it's like on a day-to-day basis for me to kick my writing into warp speed.

The good, the bad, and the really ugly. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy month. ; )

Since tomorrow will be consumed with errands and chores to clear the decks for the next week or so, I won't be blogging tomorrow, but I'll be back on Monday to tell you about my first NaNo day on Sunday. Stay tuned.

Good luck, as well! By my calculations, you'll have to write 6-7 pages a day. Whew!

I wish you the best of luck with NaNoWriMo. {Smile}

I've watched three friends go thru it, one more than once. Oddly enough, I think they all finished. But then, I was watching one gal who is very prolific anyway, one who'd done almost as much in even less time, and a very stubborn fellow who sees just about any project out because he doesn't believe in quitting. {SMILE}

I think you have the right combinatio of knack, native ability, and stubborness to see it thru. {Smile}
