NaNoWriMo

October 30, 2009

That would be National Novel Writing Month. The goal: Write a 50,000-word novel between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30.

That’s crazy talk, you say. I agree. So of course I have signed up to do it. How do you like my chances?

If there are other DC-based NaNoWriMo-ers out there–even in this acronym-soup town that’s a mouthful–let me know how you’re holding up under the strain of writing 1,667 words a day. Easy pie, as my 7-year-old would say.
