Getting excited...
Ok, last year, I failed miserably at my attempt to complete fifty thousand words for NanoWrimo. It was the first year I had ever tried and I think I completed like eight thousand words and that was all. Oooooh, no. I just went and looked at my profile (gonna have to change that squashed face picture) and NOT eight, FOUR! Gosh, what a disgrace I was, lol.
Anyway, this year, I am going to try again. I have to admit that when I signed up last year, I thought to myself about the people who hadn't finished their fifty thousand the year before Gosh, why couldn't you finish fifty thousand words in a month? How fucking hard can that be? Um... yeah. It is suprisingly hard. Just so you know.
So, this year... I am going to try again. In fact, I may even open up another blog just for that purpose. See if I can't publish whatever I am writing on said blog and that way ya'll can point out shit that doesn't add up for me... if you are really bored and feel like reading it, that is.
Hey, you never know... It could be good. I had some of you going on the Jason story ;)
Ok, so you can sign up to participate at the beginning of October. And I will definitely write about this again in October and then in November, you guys will know why I am slacking in the blogging department. How is this for notice huh?? lol
So, if you are thinking about participating, which I strongly recommend as it is great and fun and all that shit, then you may want to get a general story line in place now. When I was reading of the FAQ's last year, I saw this
"Does that mean I can't use an outline or notes?
Outlines and plot notes are very much encouraged, and can be started months ahead of the actual novel-writing adventure. Previously written prose, though, is punishable by death."

I did not pre-prepare in any way, shape or form and well... four thousand words people! So, my advice? The story you have had in your head for the last god-knows-how-long? Yeah, it's time. It's time to let it out and share it with the world. We WANT it ok? Give it to us. Let us have it. Give it up!
I will start screwing around with a template for a NanoWrimo blog in the next few weeks and if you happen to make a blog, email me the link ok? I will throw it on there.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
