National Novel Writing Month 2008

Thousands of potential writers crack their knuckles each November and participate in National Novel Writing Month.

The goal: 175 pages (50,000 words) in 30 days.

I’ve written several fanfiction stories and considered participating last year. This year, I am determined to do it! Well, at least I’m going to try my damn best.

I’ve mostly stuck to writing fanfiction. Since fanfiction inherently has built in characters, I know that setting up characters will be a challenge. I really believe in characters moving a story so I’m trying to set the groundwork right now.

I’ve also joined a group of other NaNoWriMo writers in San Diego for support and to throw ideas around.

So I’m going to buckle down and write. No matter what.

Wish me luck, y’all.

Update:

I added a link to No Plot? No Problem, a guide to writing during NaNoWriMo.
