30 days and 50, 000 words

I'm excited to say that I have enrolled in National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo). What that means is from November 1st to 30th I will be dedicating my writing time to a 50 000 word piece written from scratch, with a goal to have it finished by the end of the month.

I stumbled upon it while snooping through twitter, seeing other writers' profiles in hopes to follow them and learn something (sadly, I'm not sure who I actually learned about this from). After seeing one aspiring writer had the "winner" badge of honor beside an excerpt from her story I decided to learn about it.

Good news! You don't have to be a professional to enter, and there are no fees, so if you feel up to the task of writing a 50 000 word story in one month, check out the site.

Now, I do have a few ideas as to what I would like this little gem to be about. In code (to not spoil the people reading this who haven't read all my first or second drafts) I'm debating on either doing a book on Si, or Mund Sky. If you have a preference, leave a comment, and I'll count them as votes towards my final decision.

But maybe I should concentrate on finishing my current project first…
