The Last Mayan NaNoWriMo for 2012!

Well, I am officially a greater masochist than I ever thought possible. Evident by ME undertaking the task of writing an entire novel in a month. In NOVEMBER.  Not only is it the birth of the "Holiday" season but it is the LAST NOVEMBER EVER! According to the Mayan calendar. Last year I completed my novel  for NaNoWriMo for the first time, but I had much more free time to invest on attending write-ins and pouring over my laptop in a creative frenzy. I also had more time to work on editing and re-writes afterward (which I didn't utilize at all). This year? Not so much, I believe I have until December 21st or 22nd before our current epoch dies and civilization falls. So get ready to live like were gonna die young. (Thanks Ke$ha). This year is also a greater challenge as I will be juggling it with classes that wont matter after the apocalypse, as well as a full-time job that required mandatory overtime.

Despite the impossibility of this venture and my precarious position on that glass precipice, I still have a burning drive and a dream that I will make it to the end because this is a story I'm really excited to tell. So wish me luck and feel free to jump in on this bandwagon 'cause there's plenty of room. I'm turning into a writer come Hell or high Holy Water!

National Novel Writing Month!

November 1st is here, and you know what that means! The first day of NaNoWriMo and I couldn't be more excited about it. The idea is to finish writing a full length novel from start to finish in 30 days. People do it every year so it's proven possible. Just last year my sister completed her first novel ever and now she's shopping it to literary agents. This year I, too, shall join their ranks. I don't have a title or a plot for my novel yet but I have a willingness to attempt this and see it through. Wish me luck!
