NaNoWriMo

I signed up for NaNoWriMo. What is NaNoWriMo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month.

According to the website - http://www.nanowrimo.org/

"It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly."

I might have too much on my plate right now to even attempt this but I have until Nov. 1 to decide so we'll see...

My goal in doing this would be to teach myself to write a first draft without going back and doing endless edits.

I know it would be worthwhile but I'm still on the fence.
