NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)


National Novel Writing Month takes place November 1st-30th and I am going to attempt it. A 50,000 word novel in one month. Of course, I won't expect it to be good. It will need A LOT of revision and I've always wanted to actually finish something I write. So... I need book ideas.

If you would like to join me or want to know more about NaNoWriMo, click on the link. Last year Nerdfighter and author John Green (of the Vlogbrothers) made a Youtube video about it (that's a lot of links).

I'll have to write it on an old laptop that you have to keep plugged in because the battery is shot. I can't use my desktop because after it died and was resurrected, I couldn't find my Word disc. So, crappy laptop it is! Wish me luck (I'll need it for my horrible grammar)!

Oh yeah, and yesterday was my birthday.

  1. Oh, dear God. I just did the math. I'll have to write an average of 1,667 words per day for 30 days to meet the 50,000 word goal. Shit.
