National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)

Today marks the beginning of the amazing fun known as NaNoWriMo. I am prepared to write my novel, unlike last year! I have prewriting and outlines, character sheets and place descriptions ready to go! Last year, I decided to start writing on Nov. 3, and only got to 15,000 or so words, when the goal is 50,000.

NaNoWriMo is a writing exercise participated in by 300,000 people from high schoolers and college students on up to major authors. The goal is to write 50K words, in the month of November, in something somewhat resembling novel format. This is an interesting exercise, to say the least!

I am currently waiting for a write-in to begin, where WriMo's from my area get together and write and have fun. Got to have some kind of kick off festivities! Maybe someone will bring candy, I didn't get any for Halloween.

I'm sure you can tell from all the exclamation points that I'm pretty excited. What are you excited about this month?
