I have never attempted to write anything like a novel before but when my college buddy, Julia P.Bennett, showed up a few weeks ago and told me about NaNoWriMo (nanowrimo.org) I was hooked. What a challenge! Not one in which I am actually going to succeed to the extent that the challenge demands (50K words) but one in which I will achieve my own personal goal of 26,200 words. You know, marathon length! Well, I probably will reach that goal. I still have another 1,000 words to go and here I am, typing this, instead of figuring out how Mira becomes the Countessa di Liguria. And there is still a masquerade ball to attend. http://www.nanowrimo.org/
The followup is this: I completed 28,065 words before the midnight deadline and, for that feat, I have a moderate level of pride.
