Today is the day! The start of NaNoWriMo!
I was so pscyhed this weekend... so pumped! I was mulling over ideas for my novel, trying to get a clear image of the story I will spill out this entire month. Then I woke up this morning and felt like death.
I'm sick, and it's the first day of NaNoWriMo.
If you don't know what NaNoWriMo is... it's National Novel Writing Month. The idea is to put out as much words as possible. Quality, not so much... but quantity is what we're after. The notion: Write until you're dead, then edit in purgatory. My goal is to keep a steady pace after today though. I won't let this mild illness ruin this month!
Will I hit the lofty goal of 50,000 words? I doubt it. I won't rule it out, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it if I don't. If I start getting up there, I may even register for donations to the Office of Letters and Light. They are the ones who back the writing event, as well as classroom writing events to help enrich education.
