Countdown to NaNoWriMo! - 7 days to go

For those of you who don't know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to hunker down, drink ungodly amounts of coffee and write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.


From scratch.


In 30 days.

What am I thinking?

I've been thinking about participating in NaNoWriMo for the past year now and I have decided to do it this year. Because I need even more stuff to do.


I received my copy of the NaNoWriMo yesterday and am getting rather excited about writing my first draft of a novel. I've always wanted to write one but I hate my writing. I figured that this would be a good chance to just do it. Even though I don't have a plot, storyline, characters or any of those other things that one would expect in a novel. I do have lots of coffee and not so much free time though.



But, as Ernest Hemingway once said, "The first draft of anything is shit."


Wish me luck!
