Still I've signed up to do it.
I just registered for the NaNoWriMo.
For all of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, November is National Novel Writing Month. Basically, it's a challenge (put on yourself) to write a novel of 50,000 words or more.
Difficult yes. Especially when you do it after November's first week has passed.
Do I hope to finish? Yes. Do I expect to? Certainly not. But it's one more way to force me to write, which, why not? For any interested parties, drop a line in the comments section and you I'll give you my page on the official NaNoWriMo page.

Quick update for the 2 people that showed a small amount of interest. After having trouble starting Friday night (it's difficult when you sit in front of the computer to start writing and constantly stop and start between a number of different ideas) I have finally settled on...something.
I'm not going to say I'm in love with my idea, or that I even have a plot. But it's probably something I can at least write 50,000 words about. Whether it will come together in the next couple of weeks remains to be seen. I am having a hard time not going back and immediately editing all the writing I've already done, but I understand that would be silly when trying to get finished.
So I have started something, and as of 5:30 PM on Sunday, I have committed 3250 words to it. Stay tuned...

50,000 words 175 pages, not 50,000 pages.
oops you're right. That would have been a doozy. thanks.
Do you ever actually do work at the office or at home?
@boss
hey I haven't written a word of it yet.
wow. i give you major props. i've toyed with entering that a few times myself, but have always chickened out, worried that i would end up with a manuscript of "all work and no play makes kchop a dull girl" and similar. good luck, i will be sure to weigh in with comments on yo progress!
Million dollar idea... erotic thriller about someone who gets turned on by being burned by pan-fried bacon grease.
yay! rage on, brave macduff!
