“It was a dark and stormy night…”

This is National Novel Writing Month.
Or, if you’re one of the cool kids, NaNoWriMo. In case you’re new to it, the idea, in a nutshell, is to write a book in thirty days or less. Or finish that monster that you’ve always meant to get around to again. Either way, the goal is a completed novel by the end of the month. Frankly, it seems impossible to me, but the guy who puts this on every year is also the author of No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days, so, maybe, just maybe it’s possible to accomlish.

Not sure how far I’ll get this year, but, well, I might as well give it another try!

  1. Good luck with NaNoWriMo this year. I did about 1600 pages the first day in three 45 minute sessions. Right now it is in 3rd person. Hey where did you get your plugin for NaNoWriMo?

  2. The plugin is actually ProgessFly, which lets you show the progress on any project. The graphic beneath it is a simple link. Thanks for the good wishes. Same to you!
