Fuck, IT HAS BEGUN!
Hello NaNoWriMo, I greet you.
For those unaware (possibly Emily), NaNoWriMo has begun today!
NaNoWriMo is (short summary): National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
Long Version:
What: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time.
Who: You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.
Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.
When: You can sign up anytime to add your name to the roster and browse the forums. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.
And am I going to do it?
Yes.
What the fuck am I going to do?
Dunno, but I'm going to start in a few minutes.
When are you going to see my shit?
Every day this month.
And the battle begins. Mwah-ha-ha.
(Also Amanda is on board, so this post is really just part notice and part peer-pressuring Emily to join.)
Go to nanowrimo.org for the official thing, loves.
