1: And so it approaches...


It is now the day before November 1st, or if you want to look at it a different way, October 31st. Either way, it is the day before NaNo. That is what we all have been waiting for, that is what I have been writing my outline for, this is the one adventure that proves to be the same, yet completely different for each person who partakes.  We are no longer counting down by days, but rather by hours. For some, it has already started. Australia and New Zealand for sure...I'm not sure about any other places. 

So today, today the plan is to look over by outline one more time and make sure everything is exactly as I want it. Though as I am writing some things will probably still change. 

And so, if you have never attempted NaNoWriMo, but it sounds just crazy enough that it is right up your ally, I really would encourage you to try it out. It is fun and amazing. If writing isn't really your thing, or even reading, then I guess it wouldn't be a good idea. But even if you don't think you can make a masterpiece, that's all right, it isn't about that. It is about getting outside of you what is longing to be brought out. In the words of Chris Baty himself, "There is a novel in you than only you can write."
