Yep, it's closing towards that time of year again. That's right: Nanowrimo. October 1 is when sign-ups start, so better do it soon before the Nanowrimo website melts down when everyone registers at the last minute. For those of you who have no idea what this is, Nanowrimo is short for National Novel Writing Month which takes place in November. Crazy people attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.
I am a certifiably crazy person because this will be the fourth year I'm going to do this. Why? It's a magnificent obsession of mine. Unlike other Nano-ers, I don't have support groups. Other students think I'm insane for doing this. And I live in the boondocks with virtually no non-pretentious writing groups within a reasonable drive. So expect me to be crankier than usual.
As for an idea for this year's novel, I do have one. If I had to fit it into a genre, it would be cheesy horror with overtones of Dracula. Except there will be no vampires and there will be more emphasis on the gore than the blood. Also: Obligatory plug for my other site.
