NaNoWriMo!
Oddysey:
Yes, ladies and gents, National Novel Writing Month is approaching. Officially, it stretches from November 1st to November 30th.
What is NaNoWriMo, you ask? Simple. 30 days, 50,000 words. And massive amounts of caffiene.
This is, as you can see, completely insane, which is why I might just have to do it.
Oh, and my name anagrams to "A tenable ninja tenet." Nifty.

On the bright side, that's only about 1667 words a day. A good writer can do that while standing on their head.
Renatus:
I'm going to be doing it for the fourth year in a row, but unlike the previous three years I'm doing something purely for random, silly fun. I really enjoyed working on stories that I had had brewing for years, but since I'm now doing that the rest of the year, I'm reserving November for writing absolutely ridiculous things on purpose.
Dizzy-two, that word count is not necessarily indicative of a 'good' writer. ;) Okay, nitpicking aside, the 1667 words a day is writing at a pretty good clip, and a truly impressive one for anyone who writes longhand (like Neil Gaiman!). Still, the main point of NaNoWriMo is to get people writing who keep meaning to but put it off, give them an excuse to do it. Or in my case, attempt to whip some discipline into me. Hehheh.
At any rate, I'm glad to see someone else on here doing it. It's a lot of fun and the sense of community is amazing. I don't recommend trying to register or log in or do much of anything on the boards until the middle of October, though, since every year, without fail, the organizers manage to break the site in new and interesting ways for one to two weeks. They're great people but they're also the least together people I know. ;D

Unless you write for a living, I suggest you read through these helpful pages first:
