NaNoWriMo

I know it's been a long time since my last post, but I have an excuse.  I decided to join in the fun at NaNoWriMo.  

The acronym stands for National Novel Writing Month.  It's basically a challenge to write a novel of 50000 words in one month's time.  Everyone starts at 1 November, with no writing done before that, and then you can update your wordcount as you progress.  

The daily word count that you should get to is about 1666 words.  I thought it would be easy, but I'm already behind.  I have every intention of catching up, but it might take a while.

So, basically, I don't have time to write any short stories really, since I spend all my time writing my short novel.

Here's a link to my page there: http://www.nanowrimo.org///eng/user/529066

The event is every year, so if you don't have a good excuse, make sure you sign up next year.  Also, if you have the money, you can make tax-deductible donation to their cause. 

That's all.
