i really want to make pumpkin bread and macaroni and cheese...
just thought i would share..
also..
November is National Novel Writing Month- so i have signed up for this challenge and will need as much support as i can get, its going to be hard!!! (mostly for me to stay focused for 4 hours + per night.
This is the official statement of what its all about: (you can find more info here)
What: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time.
Who: You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.
Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.
When: You can sign up anytime to add your name to the roster and browse the forums. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.
So this should be quite the exercise in prolixity and writing endurance for me. It will also give me something to look forward to each night, and something to accomplish by months end. i really hope i can do it. As they rules say, you aren't supposed to edit or anything. just write quick prose that will hopefully in the end bear some sort of thematic plot line. im trying to draw up an idea before the month begins..i have a few ideas... but im not sure if there is enough material for a 50,000 word novel. we will see... its about 200 pages. im going to try and get chapter ideas out before the beginning of the month. yikes! prelim work! haha. okay that is all for the second post of the day.
