I may not be around much at all on this site during the month of November because I am taking part in the "NaNoWriMo" or the National Novel Writing Month event----
If you have ever thought of writing a novel yourself--November is the time to do it.
The goal of the month is for participants to write a 50,000 word book over the course of the month. This event has taken place for almost a decade-I have to admit I did not know about it until I stumbled upon the kit listed below at my local Border's store the other day.
In order to take part--you do need to get your self the "No Plot? No Problem! Novel Writing Kit" at your favorite bookstore or you can order it online from various online book sellers like Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
Part of this process is to tell people you know that you are doing this--so I want to tell everyone here---I am going to do this and make it to the finish line.
I may not write the next great American novel--but this should be, (while maybe not always fun) :eek: --a great learning experience---and who knows--maybe the work I do over the course of the month might be the basis for something that can be turned into a saleable, publishable piece of fiction--they have had a number of writers that have done just that over the years----
Anyone care to join me and approximately 50,000 other people in this effort?
And it's not just for us Yanks--this is a worldwide deal--so you folks down under and over in the UK, in Europe and elsewhere--you can join in too!!!
The clock is ticking--for you other wanna-be, aspiring writers out there--get your butt in your car--- head down to your favorite bookstore--- lay down the $20 to buy the kit and come write too!!!!!!
