That's it. I just took the plunge.

Last year, a bunch of my friends all took part in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short). The challenge of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel in November, starting on the first and ending at midnight on the thirtieth. As often happens with such things, I missed the start date, then berated myself for not getting on the stick.

Not this time. This time I'm in, baby.

I started this here blog partly as a way to force myself to write on a regular basis. Other than a couple of very busy and/or stressful times, including the last week or two, I've met that challenge. Now it's time for another step.

Is NaNoWriMo the right step? I don't know. But I do know the only time I'm ever really successful at anything is when I make the decision and then don't look back.

No matter what happens, it's should be an adventure. So what if I'm also starting a new job, looking for a new place to live and doing fourteen performances of a play in November? Sleep is for the weak anyway.
