NaNoWriMo!

In just eight short days, authors everywhere will forgo contractions in favor of unnecessary adjectives and prepositional phrases. You know what that means? Yep. It’s National Novel Writing Month again.

Once a year, writers worldwide (despite the fact that the event is titled “National”) attempt to cram 50,000 words in the 30 days of November (roughly 1,667 words a day, or a little over three pages). I just barely succeeded last year and hope to make it again this year (which is why I’ve been pre-writing instead of paying attention in class all this week).

Has anyone else participated in NaNoWriMo before? Anyone interested in joining me in my annual bout of insanity?
