A huge congratulations to Leah Ashton for her winning NV entry Secrets & Speed Dating! Congratulations also to Lindsay, Carrie &a Heidi for their Top 4 entries!
When one door closes a window opens and that window is NaNoWriMo! Good luck to everyone whose fingers will be furiously typing a masterpiece. I’ll be watching your word meters soar!
P.S I’m going to be a sporadic blogger for another 10 days. Yes that’s a very specific 10 days and then I’ll be back to harass you all as much as I want ;)
It’s that time of year! However, if you’re like me, you’re probably still in denial that it’s even November.
For anyone who doesn’t know NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it’s basically when the entire writing community collectively loses their minds and decides to write 50,000 words by the end of November. That’s 50K in 30 days. It’s not as scary as it sounds.
For one fabulous month dishes are left unwashed, floors are unswept and husbands and wives are left to fend for themselves while writing reigns. It’s a heck of a lot of fun!
If you want to know more or if you want to sign up at the official site, click here. Other sites, including Harlequin also do their own NaNoWriMo but as far as I know the Harlequin link isn’t up yet.
Now I’m not sure whether or not I’ll be joining in this year because I’d only be able to start halfway through the month, which would make it NaNoWriFo (National Novel Writing Fortnight).
That seems a little nutty to attempt…
Call me nutty with extra nuts on top because I’m still considering it. Although, this same situation happened last year and that didn’t work out so well...
But this post isn’t about me. It’s about YOU. I want to know who’s participating this year! So, if you do decide to participate you can get the official blog badges for 2010 here.
You’ve got a little over a week to decide whether or not you need to stock up on Red Bull and make sure you let me know so I can wave my pom poms in your direction!
Perhaps I'll replace our New Voices Wall of Fame with our NaNoers?
