As always this means stocking up on snack and the ability to whinge enough to last me a month and snuggling down writing nonsense on my laptop with the hope that it all comes together eventually. I really want to finish it again this year but there is quite a lot against me, two weekends in which it will be unlikely that I write anything as I will a)be at home and b)be in London, an essay deadline and an essay plan deadline which I am pretty sure is meant to be as long as the essay. Bad times in NaNoWriMo land.
Ooooh maybe I should do some explaining of what this word with all the capitals that I keep using is. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, that means that I have the 30 days of November in which to write a 50,000 word novel which in the beginning seems really intimidating but when broken down works out at about 1700 words a day and I think I have written longer blog entries than that on events that have happened to me in an afternoon so hopefully not impossible. I actually proved last year that it wasn't impossible when I completed it and even went over the word count, the only downside is that I didn't go back and redraft and anything and its still in the state in which I left it. I hope this year though that my writing is slightly more imaginative, its based on celebrities and fairy tales. Things I like.
Right what am I doing here? I should be writing a novel or an essay or even just getting some sleep.
Novels and Made up Words,
