NaNoWriMo is upon us once again, and this year I’m finally biting the bullet. Briefly, this is what NaNo is all about:
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
If you want to be writing buddies, I’m here. I have no plot to speak of and a character I would vaguely describe as a Filipino Australian in her early 20s. How I’ll pull 50,000 words out of this, I have no idea. But there you go. Commitment is the first step. See you on the other side of November!
Oh, good luck! You are much braver than I am. Then again I don’t have any ambition to be a writer!

It’s kind of scary, but now that I’ve decided to do it I can’t wait to start. Whether I’ll ever let anyone else read it is another matter…

I’m participating too and I just decided last week that for sure, I’m going to do it. I’m so excited to get started. I’m writing a contemporary romance and like you, I don’t know if I’ll let anyone else read it but that’s not going to stop me from writing it. =)
Good luck and I’d love to be writing buddies on NaNoWrimo! I’m going to send you a friends request.

I’m editing my first novel now…it took me about a year to write and it’s maybe 60,000 words…I don’t think I’ll be doing 50,000 in a month anytime soon. I wish I could write that fast.
