Nanowhato?
Friday, November 2, 2007 at 09:25AM Those of you who think about such things will know that November is National Novel Writing Month, which spawned a great new term: nanowrimo - and a contest of sorts. I say of sorts as the challenge is all based on your honour, and no prizes are awarded, except for personal satisfaction and maybe complete exhaustion.
The challenge is to write 50,000 words in the month of November. In other words, a novel, albeit a short one.
This is the first year I have stepped up to the plate. I'll post my progress here at woofreakinhoo over the next month. Yesterday, day one, I logged in just over 800 words. Not a lot, but a start.
I'd post a link to the site but yesterday they got 139,000 visits and almost melted their servers. Supposedly things die down later in the month, as I guess the writers do.
Wish me luck.

Yowza. I wish you luck and then some. I've reserved bleacher seats at the finish line to see what you rode in the race. I'm picturing a horse that wasn't understood by his father, but found redemption in baseball.
by the way, I just read about your soured email connection. That's irritating. It's a good thing that you and I took the time to install our backup system. When you want to say hi,just give the string a tug. My tin can is ready.
