Where I’ll Be This November

No, it won’t be voting. (Though, I will be voting, but that won’t take up the entire month. Just an hour, I hope.)

I recently signed up to participate in my first NaNoWriMo and, for those who aren’t familiar with it, I’ll break it down.

This is a novel writing program that you can sign up for online and encourages participants to spend 30 days and 30 nights devoting all of their free time to writing a novel.

I’ve never done this before, because 1) 30 days is a lot of pressure to write a novel, 2) I have so many other things to do and 3) [Insert pretty much any other lame excuse here].

But the thing is, I could use a fire under me. So, I’m committing to trying this out. Even if I only get 30 pages in 30 days, that’s better than nothing.

Sidenote: I’ll have to write about 6 pages each day to meet the 50,000 word goal. Wish me luck!

Other Sidenote: Do any writers or former NaNoWriMers have any advice?!
