BECAUSE EVERY MONTH IS NANOWRIMO MONTH, REALLY

[defrog]

First of all, I seem to have picked up another viewer. So welcome to gvdub – you won't be sorry for long.

Now for breaking news.

Some of you have been asking, and I’ve been putting off this decision until the last minute, but it’s official:

I will not be participating in NaNoWriMo this year.

Part of the reason is time management. It’s going to be a pretty busy month, workwise, and I don’t know that I’ll have the time even to bash out 50,000 words of gibberish. (As opposed to the usual gibberish, of course.)

The other reason is that, if the last few NNWMs are any indication, the result will be yet ANOTHER unfinished manuscript that I’ll still be working on by NNWM 2010 – which technically means that I’m signing up for the wrong event (assuming there’s such a thing as National Novel Writing Year). In any event, I’d just as soon spend some time trying to complete at least one of the projects on my plate.

Also, I’m being goaded by former bandmates and groupies to start recording some music again, now that we’re in the Web 2.0 Age and crap. So I’d like to free up some time to give that a shot, just to see what happens.

So I’m skipping out this year. For those of you who are going for it anyway, best of luck and I’ll be monitoring yr progress.

If it’s any consolation, National Blog Posting Month is still a go.

Write on,

This is dF

I've had friends bugging me about participating in NaNoWriMo for the past couple of weeks. But I was planning on writing a novel during November/December anyway. They say I should submit the book I'm working on now for NaNoWriMo but that wouldn't be fair as I've done 9,567 words already.

Yeah, that would technically be cheating. And the way I see it, I'll still be working on a novel all that month – just not from scratch. :)
