NANO approaches...tick...tock...tick...

Well, November 1st is just around the corner, and this year I will attempt NANO once more. For those who don't know what NANO is, it is an organization of writers who attempt to complete a novel in one months time....November. I've been a member for a few years now, but only attempted the competition once...which...um...lasted a day or so.

Doesn't the truth suck?

Anyhow, it is a competition only in the sense that you are basically competing against yourself, fighting against those internal urges that typically stall your writing (i.e. those little devilish bastards of your consciousness who sit on you shoulder and whisper into your ear "You don't need to write today...just go web-surfing or take a nap or pick your nose or...DO ANYTHING BUT WRITE, DAMMIT!"), and just producing some kind of finished text over the course of 4 weeks or so. It doesn't have to be brilliant or Pultizer Prize worthy, just one completed work from BEGINNING to END.

So yeah, that is what I am going to attempt.

Again.

And everyday, I'll post my thoughts here.

Whether they're good, bad, or indifferent.

The countdown is ticking...
