OMGNaNoWriMo
so, on a whim, i decided to officially register myself for national novel-writing month.
the goal? write a 50,000-word novel -- from scratch! -- between Nov. 1st and 30th.
i registered today, nov. 3rd, which means i'm already more than two days behind. it also means that, if i want to hit the 50K mark by the end of the month, i'll have to write upwards of 1900 words a day, every day, starting tomorrow. thankfully, i have an idea and a title... now i just need to start writing.
*gulp*
as such, i know you'll forgive me if my blog entries for the next 27 days lean towards the lean, in terms of length, depth and breadth. management thanks you for your understanding.

Perhaps your blog entries could be passages from that day's writing?
And why wait until tomorrow to start? Start now. Good luck!
oh, no way is anybody seeing first-draft-quality material! so, no, i'm afraid i shan't be posting any passages on the internet for public consumption.
today is for coming up with characters and stories, in outline-esque form. i like to have a map, even if it's just a few simple crayon scrawls. ;-)
tomorrow is day one of official novel writing.
