NaNoWriMo
I have an announcement to make, sort of ...
I like to write. You might have guessed, me being a blogger n'all. I have a few ongoing Works in Progress but it's very easy to get bogged down in research, planning and back story. I also have a tendancy to make major changes half way through which results in a massive re-write or, worse, get fed up when I get to a difficult bit.
Well, dear reader, I am (I think!) going to take up the challenge of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month in full. The aim is to write 50,000 words between 12:01am on 1st November and 11:59pm on 31st November. Quantity not Quality is the key.
I've got a few ideas on the back burner that I could use so I may be taking the mad plunge. I won't be blogging my writing but I will post ocassional updates (if I manage to overcome my well developed procrastination skills.
Happy Journeys.

Cool! Go for it! I quite understand you not wanting to blog your writing - but do let us know how it goes. (Or doesn't!)
BTW thanks so much for your comment on Real E Fun - it did come across just fine, and meant a great deal to me.
Yellow folks! (Hubby here)
I'm getting myself geared up for the "Guest appearance" on the now famous rhea_ramblings.blogspot.com. I've managed to convince Rhea into letting me comment on her progress through November.
Roll on November! (Guest Blogging and my Birthday!)
Hubby.
1700 words a day is good going. Best of luck if you're holding down a job as well.

The most I've ever managed is 1000 a day and that was for a short story.
Heh - yes, I work full time too so it should be "interesting".
Thank you!
