Today I start the first of thirty grueling days of typing a novel. That's right I decided to be a participant in the NaNoWriMo. 50,000 words in thirty days? No problem. I just wish I would of thought of something to write about before I started.
50,000 words is only 1667 a day and when you break it down like that it doesn't seem so bad.
I know I can make it. If not, hey at least I tried. I was going to try and do the NaBloPoMo as well but decided that would be insane. Maybe next year. Pixie, however, will be joining the ranks of post-everyday bloggers so be sure to check out her site. I know she will have some interesting topics to discuss.
Also, happy All Saints day! This is the day when you dress up like your favorite saint and go door to door saying "Martyr or Barter". If the person chooses martyr then you have to perform a miracle, then let them stone you to death. If they say barter, well, then pick your favorite item in their living room and begin the timeless tradition of haggling over what you'll trade them for the said item. And remember, if their porch light isn't on don't bother knocking.
This was always my favorite holiday when I was a child. I was always Saint Winnoc, the patron saint of whooping cough. Who's your favorite saint?
