NaNoWriMo

Next month is rather surprisingly November, so I've decided to become one of those barmy masochists who subject themselves to bashing out 50,000 words in 30 days, lest they condemn themselves to total literary ignominy.

Why? Because my creative writing needs a kick up the backside, because if I surround myself with fellow sufferers, some mutual motivation will surely spring and things will get written. My main aim is to get through it and have 50,000 words by 30th November. If those words amount to anything of any substance, then that's a bonus.

If you're of a similar mental frailty, you can also register at www.nanowrimo.org There are well-established local groups and a friendly mix of ages and experiences. The Birmingham group will meet every Saturday  from 29th at the Coffee Lounge, Navigation St. Hopefully there are a couple of us forming a Lichfield sub-group, too.

Anyway, I intend to haphazardly chronicle the decaying state of my sanity on this 'ere shiny new blog.
