Just wondering if anyone else is thinking of doing NaNoWriMo this year? Basically your task is to write a 50,000-word novel by the end of the month. Quantity is over quality :D

If so, maybe we can be buddies and suffer together: http://www.nanowrimo...eng/user/574462

I did it for three years, but not last year and probably not this year :( Too darn busy.

Attempted and failed last year(36,000 words), and was ignoring the emails I've been getting about it lately, but I think I'll give it a try if others are throwing themselves in the ring.

Forunately I'm much less of a perfectionist this year.

I'm sort of, in that I'm working on a novel and hope to work on it more this month, and sort of not, in that I'm not expecting it to be done by the end of the month.
Let me look that up on Wikipedia.
