NaNoWriMo

That's right: NaNoWriMo.

If your wondering how to pronounce it, I think people say "nah-no-rye-moe". Of course, I am in the minority that pronounces it as "nah-no-ree-moe". Apparently that pronunciation annoys a lot of people, but I think it sounds better.

Well, anyways. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. The goal of this event, as you may have derived from the title, is writing a novel in a month. A novel, in this case, is 50,000 words (which comes to approximately 1,667 words each day). The month during which this event takes place is November. This month.

I'm taking part in it. There's a book I've wanted to write for a pretty long while, and now seemed a good time to do it. Well, a lot of my friends know what I'm doing, so if I don't finish, much embarrassment will ensue.

I'm on day eight, and have so far written 11,717 words. I'm on target, though I haven't written my words for the day yet. I really should be doing that, and not writing this post.

In fact, I should probably go do it now, so, Adios.
