NaNoWriMo

This Sunday marks the beginning of NaNoWriMo 2009.  This gives participants 30 days to write 50,000 words, approximately 1667 words per day.  I intend to do this without computer assistance.  50,000 words, by hand, on notebooks.

Why would I do this?  Because I’m crazy.  Actually, because I want to be able to work on it during breaks at work, which is very difficult when my writing is at home.  Emailing it back and forth is probably just going to cause confusion, in addition to excluding transit time in my writing periods.

It just so happens that I am duty twice during November, giving me lots of time with not much else to do than write.  And luckily for me, the first day of duty is also the first day of NaNo, which should give me a half-decent head start.

Let the madness begin.
