CALLING ALL PEOPLE

In short, this post is basically: "Does anyone want to do NaNoWriMo with me?"
Because I am super hyped.
I have signed up and gotten my sister and Jelly to do it with me. I think I've said this before. But do you wanna do it too?
I know it's a 50,000 word novel in November, and I know you need to write approx 1,667 words a day.
But, you can make it 50,000 words of C*** as it is. And November IS a holiday, unlike the thousands of people around the world doing a NaNo that still have school during that time. Also, how many words do you usually write for your lit essays in one hour and forty minutes? Two hundred? Five hundred?
So if you don't have anything on during November, go ahead and type up a novel of literary abandon. Frankly, you don't really need a plot, a setting, characters, good writing skills (technically, if you can blog, you can write, can't you?) THAT much. There are a lot of people that just start without.
What you need is a certain drive, and that's to finish your novel under a certain deadline.
And maybe compete against your friends. That's part of why I"m writing this post... but the main reason it's that it's really fun to go at it in a group.
You don't need to go for 50k, you can go for 20k, or 10k, or 1,000... whatever.
So yeah. I don't really have a proper ending. Again. But go ahead and consider it ^^.
