So, there's this site called NaNoWriMo.

Know about it?

Brownie points if you do.

It stands for National Novel Writing Month.

It's a site where, every once a year, writer types like me go to see if in one month's time they can write over 50,000 words. This year, we're doing it in November. I still have about a month to wait before I can submit anything of my own.

But, that's okay, I can still tinker around.

Come November 1, though, you won't see much of me because my hands are going to be FUCKING tired from typing. 50,000 words may seem like a lot to you, but for me, I can probably write that much in about... Well, two hours tops. Maybe less if I seem to want to talk a lot. But either way, 50,000 words by midnight, November 30. That is not an easy deadline to meet, if you procrastinate like me, or if you type really really slow. I'm hoping I'll have enough of my story done by November so that I can put it off for a while before submitting it.

At the moment, I can't post anything about my story except for a description and an excerpt.

PS: If you want to find my NaNoWriMo account, look for username NikolaiPetrovich in the Authors search bar. I decided to use an alias because I figure I might use an alias when and if I publish a story anyhow, like Samuel Clemens did. His alias is Mark Twain, did you know that?

Fuck no, you didn't.

Anyhow, if you like to write and want to join up, go ahead and sign up to NaNoWriMo's website. I know, a month may seem rather long to wait, but hey, I'm using the time I have to write as much of my story as I can so that when I submit it, I'll already have a good head start on some other people who put it off until it was actually time to start writing it.

Wish me luck. Or don't, I don't care.

PSS: Pic semi-related. It's supposed to express how much I know I'm going to die when November is over.
