Almost That Time Again!

November 1st is coming fast. And with it comes NaNoWriMo! Woohoo!!!

For those of you who don't know what that is, or what all the excitement is about, NaNoWriMo is short for "National Novel Writer's Month".  It's an annual event that takes place in November.  Over the course of the 30 days of November, writers from all over the world get together, virtually speaking, to write their hearts out to reach the 50,000 word goal.

50,000 words in 30 days may sound unreasonable or out of reach, but it's do-able for many people with some dedication and self-discipline.  That actually comes to 1,667 words per day.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who writes more than that in emails each day.  he he

I'm hoping to add a widget to my blog as we get closer to the 1st so others can watch my progress if they feel so inclined.  (Just waiting for the widgets to be updated to 2012.)  If you're a fellow WriMo, find me on the NaNo site as userID "xandert" and we can be writing buddies.

So, are YOU up to the challenge of NaNoWriMo?  If so, join in the fun!

      Cool! Great to meet another WriMo! This will only be my 2nd "official" NaNo. I did it unofficially in 2012. Looking forward to doing it again. Probably way too much fun. *G*

    I added you as a buddy. I am GingerS219. This is my first year doing NaNo, so I am slightly freaked out at the challenge, but excited too.

      You can do it, Ginger! I didn't think I could possibly write that much in one month, but participating in NaNoWriMo is one of the things that has really shown me what I'm capable of when I push for such a high goal. Even if you don't meet the 50K, I'm sure you'll push what you thought you were capable of. :-)
