NaNoWriMo for your VERY SOUL
I’m involved in the National Novel Writing Month for the third year running. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a sort of “destroy your brain forever” activity where otherwise perfectly sane people try to write an entire 50,000 word novel in 1 month, from November 1-30. I’ve “lost” the past two years, so here’s hoping third time’s the charm. :v:
Writing for me is like taking a really enormous bathroom break after being constipated for days: painful as hell while you’re doing it but a sublime catharsis when you’re done. So I’ve pretty much signed up for a big international pooping contest. Here’s hoping I can poop out an entire novel this year. I got bogged down in “plot” the last two times. Feh, plot, I say this year with a little toss of my wrist which would not seem out of place for me to be daintily holding a lace handkerchief. I’ll just start with a vague concept for a book and see where it leads. Can’t be any worse than Twilight.
Anyway, c’mon over to http://www.nanowrimo.org. Poop with us, it’ll be fun.
