November is National Novel Writing Month. The official challenge is to begin writing at 12:00:00am November 1 and have 50,000 words written by 11:59:59pm November 30. I’m participating for the first time this year, mostly from a need to get me writing in general rather than any delusions of creating some kind of a masterpiece. To my readership (who are probably merely my own fictional creation): email me if you’re interested in reading my novel as it develops, and I shall send you the URL. Unless you’re a scary stalker or a story thief. Then you can piss off.
