This is the one where I write a novel.

Posted October 25th, 2009 by Mike Lawson

I’m going to do it.  Again.

NaNoWriMo is pretty intense, if you do it right.  And it’s totally time-consuming.  And rewarding.  And stupid.

I wrote a novel in 30 days back in 2004 about a guy that works at a nursing home.  Then I repeated the process and wrote a shitty novel in 2005 about a straight guy that worked in a homo-saturated industry and had to pretend to be gay to get ahead…Twelfth Knight rip off .  And then in 2007 I tried again.

This time I’m serious.

If you are thinking about doing NaNoWriMo, but aren’t sure, here’s a little list I found on WriteToDone by Leo Babauta:

Just a few reasons to do NaNoWriMo:
1. It gives you the motivation to finally write that novel.
2. It teaches you some good habits — getting writing done every day.
3. You learn a lot about yourself when you’re put to the test like this.
4. Like I said, it’s tremendous fun to join up with so many enthusiastic writers.
