In the middle of November, 2004 I stumbled upon the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) during research for one of my screenplay's. I was a little upset about how late it took me to find this fascinating web page.
From NaNoWriMo:National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
What an awesome idea, and a good way to waste a bunch of time for one month of the year. So, since I found it late last year, I vowed to myself that I would participate in 2005.
Whoops. I had forgotten all about it until I stumbled across this post from Beyond Robson in my RSS Reader. Oh, how upset I am with myself. Another year gone by, another opportunity shot.
From Beyond Robson:... in 2006 when I again plan publically announce my intentions to NaNoWriMo.
Me too. It looks like some 9765 completed it this year. Congratulations to all that wrote, I am envious.
