Novel Idea, Part I -

Novel Idea, Part I - Posting will be light today, and for the next 30 days, as I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month. I may bulk things up with links to other bloggers you should be reading.

I'm writing into the wee hours, trying to finish a novel (50,000 words or so) by November 30. NaNoWriMo measures its accomplishments by counting words - which should tell you how serious an exercise this is. But I've always wanted to write a novel, and doggone it, I'm going to do it.

I'll post my ongoing word count on the top-right corner of the blog.

I'm on my way out for a very busy weekend of housework, shopping, and maybe even a dollop of social life. We shall see.

I got a good start on NaNo last night, and got up early to lay in a supply of posts for next week, so even if NaNo burns me out on writing to the point where I can't stand the thought of sitting at a computer to blog, I'll have something new on here every day.
