NaNo looms...help!

[alliecat8]

I have an October dilemma. It's the 8th, right? That means I've got 23 days to decide if I'm gonna do NaNo this year. (For those who don't know NaNo, that's National Novel Writing Month which is November, and I've written two NaNo novels in the last two years.) I want to do it, like, a LOT, but the last two years I left for my birthday vacation on the last day of the month, so I only had one less day to finish. This year I'm leaving on the 27th, meaning I'll have FOUR less days to finish. *does the math* That means I've gotta write 1,923 words a day to get the required 50,000, instead of the 1,724 I had to write the other 2 times. That's 200 more words, and when you're writing almost 2,000 a day, that's a LOT of words! Also, last year's novel is a MESS, and I'd kinda rather edit it and post it, since I've already made a home for it at everafter_verse. But I really really want a 2008 NaNo banner! I dunno, y'all! Tell me what to DO!!!!!

I'd say give it a try! At worst, you wouldn't finish it, but if the goal is to have fun and you have an idea, why not? I think I'm going to try it, too. With a story that will probably kill me but I've had the idea for a lot of time and maybe if I did that only for one month I'd write it at least.

I'm gonna do try it! And YAY for you, for trying it too! We can be insane hardworking writers together! :D

Y'know, I think it's those stories that we *think* will kill us that turn out to be the best in the end. So I say go for it.

Your icon, LOL!!!
