Where I've been, and what I've done

Terrifyingly enough, I've signed up for NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month (which is actually the International Novel-Writing Month now).

During the month of November, nearly 80,000 participants from around the world, between the ages of 13 and ??, will attempt to write a 50,000 word first-draft novel. We have set quite a challenge for ourselves, but I think it will be GREAT fun - and the pressure to write "perfection" is off, since nobody in their right minds should actually think it will be anything but a working draft of our original idea.

Scary, fun, busy, exhilarating and utterly mad - and at 12:01 am on November 1st, it will all begin....
