NaNoWriMo

...or National Novel Writing Month, for those wondering, begins in 2 days. It's a commitment to write a new novel of 50K words in the month of November. It has been more years than I care to remember since I wrote a novel (which did at least get to an editor's desk at Harlequin before I floundered, unsure what to do to fix the problems she brought up). There are no grades in NaNoWriMo, but I imagine, since I've never before joined in on this challenge, that the sense of accomplishment must be enormous - even if you only come close to the "required" word count. So, I've signed up. I have a story in mind and I'm excited about finally starting it.
