I wanted to let everybody know that I'm going to be having a little extra fun this November, and it might very well be I'm not going to have a lot of time to post.
I'm signed up to take part in something of a contest - the National Novel Writing Month. In a nutshell, the object is to write a novel in 30 days. The goal is 50,000 words (about a third a novel, actually, but "National Novella Writing Month" doesn't have the same ring).
The fun part is that the novels don't have to be good, coherent, or anything like that. The entire goal of the month is quantity, not quality. 50,000 words on sewage treatment would be as valid as the next Great American Novel. The only goal is writing 50,000 words in 30 days.
www.nanowrimo.org is the site. Check it out if you're curious (the FAQs are funny, but informative).
My wife did it last year and had so much fun we're both doing it this year (although I don't know who's cooking this time).
My novel is called "In Space, No One Can Hear You Sing 'Aida'". I might be able to post an excerpt there, once I get going (Midnight, Saturday).
So wish me luck!
I am
Dawg
Busy November
