It's been more than a month and a half since I last posted on here. Even though I'm not using this as my primarily blog while I'm overseas, that's pretty bad. I thought I would at least post once a month or so. Oh well, I haven't even been doing that great on my SM blog and am now trying to post retroactively.
I found something I almost wish I had known about a month ago. I say almost because, while I love the idea, I don't think it really would have been feasible for me to undertake this November. We've had too many evenings without power (as evidenced by my lack of SM blog posts) and I've been spending a lot of time at the baby home and with the other volunteers after work.
So, have you ever wanted to write a book? I have (and I suspect most of my readers, at least the ones who are subscribed to my blog because of the requirements for Creative Writing and Adv. CW classes, have too). And next November, I think I will. That's right, I think I'm going to join in on National Novel Writing Month and write 50,000 words in the month of November. Now that I've committed to it, its up to you guys to hold me accountable. And to remind me that I made this commitment in the first place. I mean, it is another 11 months until November rolls around again. Who know what other things will be filling my mind until then? So are you up to it? Will you remind me? Hey, better yet...maybe you should just join me and write a novel as well! Yeah, I think you should do it...or at least consider it.
WOW! That's a lot of words, especially for one month. I think if I were to attempt such a feat, I'd make it "Write 50,000 words BY November." Well, I'll try to hold you to it if I remember myself.
ReplyDeletegreat idea!!
ReplyDeletenow do it.
i will read it.
You should come up with a very long plot between now and then. I know some people who do this. One of them has a partner who discusses it with them as a matter of course, who they throw ideas off of and stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
