Yes, I am a blogger, but I have no desire to write a novel. I think this makes me a rare specimen in the blogging world. Starting November 1st, bloggers around the world with participate in
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) where they will attempt to write 50,000 words (ideally towards a novel) by the end of the month.
I think it's a bit crazy, but I'm not here to make fun of it. Some of my
best friends are NaNoWriMo nuts. I just wanted to warn you that things in the Blogosphere might get a bit loopy, and
overly wordy.
So, since I have no interest in writing a novel, or in writing 1666 words a day, I will honor National Writing Month by making my blog posts shorter! And since I love to
drive myself crazy challenge myself, I will limit the posts to 100 words or less! So, come on over when you get tired of reading every one's encyclopedias.

I am out with the whole surgery thing. I will, however, finish that manuscript, dammit. :)
Honey, writing a blog is a real stretch for me. I'll just be happy with that.
I'm with you- I don't have any desire to do nanonono.

nana: Ok here;s the secret--I really am making fun of the people that are doing NaWroMoMoMoMoMoNo
lindy: Yay! That means you are sane!
nononablopomo and nononanowrimo nowaymofo. i could not do it again this year. i'm still worn our from last year.
I'm not writing a novel, either; life is hard enough already.
And even if I put all my posts together, that's a whole lot of not much, frankly.
We can go against the grain together :)
