NaNoWriMo '09

Well it's that time of year again. November brings with it the craziness of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for the in crowds). I've done it every year since 2005, and each year it gets tougher and tougher with the mounting responsibilities of a full time job and life in general. But I tell you that I love the hell out of it and look forward to it every year. It's a chance for writers (professional and amateur and everywhere in between) to let their creative juices flow and participate in one of the craziest months of the year.

The goal you ask? Simple. 50 thousand words written between November 1st and November 30th. It can be daunting. When writer's block hits at 30K, nothing is worse. And it seems nothing short of large quantities of alcohol and sugar can cure it. So check it out. I know I posted this last yeaar too but hey. I figure the more people that do it the better. Not to mention its fun.
