Two More Sleeps

Saturday is fast approaching - too fast really.

Yes I start writing for my NaNoWritMo challenge in just two sleeps. Am I ready? No idea. Am I going to shirk the challenge? No way.

I start typing furiously on Saturday and by the end of the month I will having something of a novel sitting there.

So I am counting down with a strange mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Nanowritmo challenge?
Well, good luck with it. Do we get to read your finished product on your blog, or will we have to go to our local bookstore to get a copy?

Ah, I both envy you and I pity you.

NaNoWriMo is a helluva challenge. The only advice I can give you--STICK TO THE WORD COUNT. If you want to write more, great. But make sure you hit that word count. The few times I slacked off, thinking "I'll write double my word-count tomorrow" sucked.

Other than that, have fun and remember--no matter how bad it is, no editing (that's for December, or if you're like me...???).

Good luck.

Pita let me write the thing first :-) Got to make that first hurdle. I would love to have you go to the local bookstore (knowing you have already received your personally signed free edition) and I guess you need to have a dream before you have a dream come true BUT, well it would be very unlikely - the publishing world is very competitive. So yes it will be available for anyone to read but I reserve the right to edit it a bit first lol

Thanks for the advice Jason. Knowing someone who has "been there and done that" gives me enormous confidence :-)
