Yup, the widget in the right hand module says it all... November 1st is soon upon us. And the last few weeks, the strangest thoughts and schemes have been showing up in my mind. It is time for preparation and recruiting. Bible School could turn out to be the perfect setting. Yes, brethren, it is time for
NaNoWriMo 2008
So the sooner you move your butts to nanowrimo.org and sign up, the better! (Actually parts of the site, including sign-ups, is locked down for maintenance until October 1st, but you get the idea). I haven't decided what to write about yet. I am mainly thinking about three different opportunities: 1) writing the second part of the story I wrote for my first participation in 2006, which I have always wanted; 2) writing a crazy, lopsided, colorful but untrue, fan-fiction-ish biography of myself and my friends, which could be a lot of fun, 3) begin to build up a whole new idea for a 30 day, 50k word novel. Which would be just as great as the others.
A plan is forming in my mind, to turn the school's library into a writing café, and try to recruit as many of my fellow students to the event as I can. So far I have recruited one, and I am very hopeful for him. He told me his idea for his novel, and I am telling you, it sounds grrreat! And I will also have Wil as my definite through-it-all writing buddies overseas. I can just feel, that it is going to be a fantastic November. Trust me. Really, sign up. You know you want to.
And just one more thing: I know what to write in my 500th entry. It's gooood. So stay tuned...

Ooh, exciting! I absolutely could not limit myself to writing a novel in one month--I HAVE to do too much edit-as-you-go. I know that the point is supposed to be to train yourself to just get it all down, and THEN edit, but I've been writing this way my whole life--I think I'd drive myself absolutely crazy trying to change now.
But I always like to hear/read about other people's attempts at NaNoWriMo! Hope it goes great for you this year!
I know! It's coming . . . too soon. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it this year. *sighs* It is a lot of fun, though! I think anything you decide to do will be great. =D
