national novel writing month
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
So I’m going to try to do NaNoWriMo again this year. For those who don’t know, the object of National Novel Writing Month is to write a whole novel during the month of November. It’s an excellent way to test how uninspired, boring, and lazy you are. Fun! To complete the task, I must write at least 50,000 words by the end of the month. Last year — my first-ever try — I didn’t quite make it, having written only zero words by the end of the month. I fully plan to at least tie last year’s word count.
Turns out Paul Phillips is entering this year. Also, Weblog Sin Pies contributor Joe, who, if I remember correctly, completed the task last year. You all should try it too! Then we’ll start a publishing company and sell our novels for billions. Then we’ll light cigars with $100 bills.
I’m still going to try to update Weblog Sin Pies as often as possible, but I have to say, I think I’m really going to focus on the novel this month. And I barely update once a week as it is. I’ve been passively recruiting more contributors and have semi-commitments from a few. But maybe this is a good time to branch out a bit. If you’ve got something interesting to say and would like to become a Weblog Sin Pies contributor, send me a message, and maybe we can work something out.
I’ll get to that backlog of News and Aaaahs and also a recap of the Funkistan reunion sometime soon. Most likely.
