Only one more day until NaNoWriMo starts.

Anybody else doing it this year?

NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is a challenge in which you write 50,000 words of fiction in 30 days. The goal is wordcount, not readability; quantity, not quality.

Last year I finished it easily, with time to spare. But then, I was unemployed. I wonder how I'll do this year...

It seems I'm a much slower writer than I realized. I would spend hours on end producing a bare 2,000 words, my daily quota. I think I thought too much and wrote too little. At least I ended up with a story I found entertaining.

I'm going to have to write a lot faster this year. I just hope the quality doesn't suffer too much - I am still aiming for "entertaining".

I haven't really had time to set any fiction down in months.
Employed and starting a new buisiness does not a productive writer make.
I should try to do this, though, unofficially, just to break the seals off of the jar of creative juices, I've got a couple plots that could use a month or so of forced writing.
