So November is a month of many things.  But the most pertinant is Nanowrimo:

Nanowrimo means National Novel Writing Month and it is a challenge to write a 50,000 word novella in 30 days.  Thats 1667 words a day.  I have participated in Nanowrimo every year since 2001 except last year (family medical issues) and still have never finished it.  So I am taking out all potential writing distractions until I am at atleast 30,000 words.  So no new posts from me for awhile folks.  Granted I update this thing really haphazardly anyway...

And let me answer the question alot of yall are thinking - why try to do this since the resulting novel will be crap?  Well the answer is quite simple: because many say it is impossible.  And to quote Firefly "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."  Personally, I do it because I feel that a story is the greatest thing one can give to another.  And to have a story written down, as poorly as it may be, is an even greater gift.  Call me old fashion, but I would still love to have a published book.
