november is national novel writing month

or nanowrimo to give it it's more manageable if less pronounceable title!

so, it's a great idea, you log on to the above site and in the thirty days of november you write 50,000 words, or 1667 words per day, make lots of online buddies for support of the moral variety and use the forum to meet up with fellow nanowrimo-ers from your area.

given that i have a fascination for words and language, and used to write a bit when i was at school and am inspired by living with the most talented writer, i thought this would be a great opportunity to put pen to paper.

ironic then, that not only am i waaaaaaaaaaaay behind on my word count due to the word / thought vaccuum that is now orbiting me, i have also found myself unable even to write a few words each week on my blog.

hhhhmmmm, not quite what i was hoping for.

back to the novelling ...
