Welcome to NaNoWriMo

November has descended and with it comes the daunting task of writing 50,000 words by the 30th. With 1,667 words a day piled on top of homework, a midterm, and a research paper, the goal seemed even more intimidating at the end of October, but here we are, a week in today and the writing seems to be coming pretty easily.

National Novel Writing Month draws thousands of participants from all over the world each November and is in it's eleventh year. I encourage everyone to take a look at it here.

Since I haven't written anything since the summer and all I can think about are plays, I decided that this year I would do a huge collection of monologues based on people's wants. So far I've got a bearded lady in a circus, a dying mental patient, a chemistry nerd, and several morally unsound adults. It's not too late in the game for people to join and catch up with the word count. Today's goal is 10,000 I believe.

Cheers all,
Arky

EDIT: November 15th, at 5:03 AM I finished NaNoWriMo with 50,109 words. It is apparently possible to write 50,000 in two weeks rather than in a month or never.
