NaNoWriMo 2012

Greetings Earthlings (she said as if anyone read this and it wasn't just a place to organize thoughts),

I decided to start this blog because I have made the probably foolish commitment to do NaNoWriMo this year.  If you are not familiar, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month and the goal is to write a 50k word novel during the month of November.  Intrigued?  Check it out here: nanowrimo.org

I have a story.  Sort of.  I have... a setting.  I have a concept.  It all came from a dream.  I won't go into details here, because heaven forbid I post spoilers before I've even started, but basically I have a concept and a very vague, nebulous idea of what I want to do with it.  We'll see where it goes from there.

My intention is to post my novel progress each evening before I go to bed.  I may even post some thoughts, like this, about the writing process.  But come on, who's got time for that when you're doing a Nano?

I welcome your thoughts and comments (if anyone ever decides to read this) but be well forewarned that I won't read or respond to any of them until December.  Why?  Because I need to dive into my story headfirst and if I read your comments (which I'm sure will be insightful and very helpful) I will have the desire to go back and edit.  Editing is not part of Nano.  Editing is for December.

We'll see you then,

Jessie May
