This is the one where I write a novel.
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.
