Speed Novel.

I was checking out a local board this morning when I found a link to the National Novel Writing Month website. As a result of visiting the site and learning more, I've decided to write a novel! Here is some interesting information about the site:

-------------------------------------------
What
: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time.

Who: You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.

Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from your novel at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.

When: Sign-ups begin October 1, 2005. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.
-------------------------------------------

If you have any other questions, please read here from the NaNoWriMo site.

I just put up another blog where I will be writing the novel. I had a great brainstorming session this morning and I'm fired up. Stop by every once in a while and check my progress. I welcome critiques from my good friends.

And, hey, you should write a novel too!!!
