Today starts National Novel Writing Month. For all of you who have ever dreamed of writing a novel, but just didn't think you had the time, National Novel Writing Month is for you. In just 30 days, you can write a 50,000 word novel. That's 1666 words a day. And according to Chris Baty, the founder of National Novel Writing Month, you don't even need a plot or characters to get started. All you need is to do is turn on a computer and start typing.
Sure, you might not write a Pulitzer Prize winning manuscript, but you just might churn out a crappy first draft. And that's someplace to start.

Damn. I'm just about to start now. Another novel... Eeks!
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Bestest, s.
I'm positive I won't write anything close to a Pulitzer Prize winner, but then, not sure I want to, because that's called too much pressure. :-) Anyway, 4,000 words in and having fun.
Peace,
A
