NaNoWriMo

I am now nanowrimoing - or going to be in November. That is: National Novel Writing Month. Which begins on Wednesday. It's scary. It's 50,000 words in 30 days. I can do it, I can, I can.

I've been planning. I have characters. I have possible-structures and maybe-plots. I have ways to break my 50K down into managable chunks, lumps I can chew off, bit by bit. I have potential tangents for if I run out of things to write. I have Roy Orbison wrapped in cling film.

I also have a "To Do Before November" list which is only getting longer and I still haven't crossed anything off it. It includes: Haircut, Clean desks (2), Buy Roo for Toby, Watch Velvet Goldmine (essential, obviously), Pay Bills. I just added: Buy chocolate and writing snacks. So I may come out of November 50K and 20kgs heavier!

And if I am an anti-social beast in November, please forgive me. *mutter, mutter, suffering-artist, etc, mutter...* But I will accept deliveries of food, alcohol and anything caffeine related. I am right now lurking in a Nanowrimo forum entitled: The "All My Filler Will Probably Be Porn" Thread.

So if anyone wants to join me in this madness-? Apart from the 50,000 or so already signed up on the website. Ah, it's nice to think of so many people going mad at the same time. Here's to collective insanity.
