Gearing up for the 2011 NaNoWriMo

Well. Hi there!

I'm starting this blog to get myself together in time for the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge for which I registered.

What is this?  In their words:

"National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing on November 1. The goal is to write a 50,000 word, (approximately 175 page) novel by 11:59:59, November 30."

In my words:

"What was I thinking?"

Ok...I kind of knew what I was thinking. I was thinking I turned 39 this year, and life is going by quickly. I've always wanted to write a book, and apparently I also like stress. So, I signed up to get the first draft out of my head and onto paper (or onto computer).

Here's the thing: It's not until November. I've got time to jot down some ideas. As part of the rules you can not start writing until the first day of November, other than an outline.

If this blog at times doesn't make any sense at any given point, just know that I'm noting ideas. You may shake your head and carry on.

I also get side-tracked by one of my passions, cooking, so random cooking posts may spring up from time to time, too.
