8 Days unitl NaNoWriMo!
As of today, we have 8 days to get ready for NaNoWriMo! I'm so excited and in the next week until November: National Novel Writing Month, I will start the party, or pre-party of sorts.
8 days! I hope you have your idea ready, and if you don't, then there's no need to worry, or maybe you're just finding out about NaNoWriMo, then I reckon that 8 days is a perfect amount of time to get started, or even to find an idea worth planning, plotting and ultimately writing.
What I find so great about NaNoWriMo and what interested me in the first place was that no matter what, I would write a novel in a month, which is usually the amount of time it takes already, but by having the website we can talk to people and share stories of how our writing is coming along, and although I do that through my Facebook pages, I bet that being a part of this community will be so much greater!
This is my first year, first of many years! And I'm using it to write a novel that I've been dying to write, but it's always been too risqué for something that I would normally write. In case you didn't know, I write dark fantasy novels, and so I'm genre jumping into gay fiction where I will go by both Joseph Eastwood but by a pen name as well, Thomas Jay as I do want people to know me for my writing but not to think that all I write is fantasy and the pseudonyms give clarity to readers.

So I'm using NaNoWriMo to write a novel that's not in my typical genre, so that's one reason to do it! But there are so many more! Like the events places are organising so that you can get to know other WriMo's, and they might live down the road from you, or become a critique partner in a couple of months when and if you think you're ready for people to look at your writing.
So 8 more days until the fun begins? The only question is, have you set the foundations for your novel?
Happy Planning and Plotting Guys & Gals!
-Joseph
