Well, it's two days into November now, and I haven't started writing my great American NaNoWriMo masterpiece yet. I'm still thinking about it - I heard some people are going to blog and then count that toward their word count. That might work - that means I'm at, what, 40 words now?
As bad as I am about keeping this blog going that idea's a lost cause for me. I know of lots of folks who have started NaNoWriMo every year for the past four or five years and haven't finished it yet. I am proud to say that, in the year 2003, I actually put together over 50,000 words and submitted it - AND received a lovely certificate of accomplshment for my efforts. It was hell, though, because, I couldn't keep a plot in my head for 30 whole days and I kept skittering around to different ideas and subjects. And, every year, including this one, I tell myself to outline a plot ahead of time and see what happens. And, every year, I don't do it.
Oh hell. I may have to count my blog after all.
