A Novel Idea
Murray and Clara have been talking about it for a while. I tossed it off as silly, considering my extreme lack of time. I mulled over it as a joke, as a thing to do if only I could. If only I were free of classes, work, homework, publishing, reporting... and so on. But when they start sign-ups, I don't know if I'll be able to stop myself. I write. It's in my blood... hell, look at this stupid page.

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). And I think I'll take a stab at my first novel.

I've already written two novellas... 45-60 page "short" stories, Vhi Lhimana Shara'hm (or "The Moonlight's Path") and... um, The Sinner's Counteractive (I think). These were for high school creative writing and lit classes, stories that got out of control and I ran with. I had to cut them short for lack of time. I know it's in me... I've felt it.

So what are they asking for? Fifty thousand words, two hundred pages in thirty days. That's 1,613 words a day. Not too bad, if you ask me! I write about that much in here a day... can I do it?

Hah. I laugh in the face of over-commitment. Let's do it, guys... we can share our passion and our pain. Or at least stay up late together drinking espresso and being carried away by our own dreams.
