Well, this is it - the day before my month-long writing marathon begins. Unless, of course, I get bored or fatigued and drop out after a couple of weeks!
I've been trying to clear my life of as many other distractions as I can, but this has proved difficult. Perhaps this isn't a bad thing: it might be good to have other worthwhile things to do, so I can take a guilt-free break from the writing process.
Am I looking forward to it? Yes! With some trepidation. But "she'll be right" :-)

A Big Decision
After much deliberation I've decided to sign up for NaNoWriMo this year.
For those who wonder what I'm talking about: National Novel Writing Month is an online tool which encourages budding writers to compose 50,000 words during the month of November. There's also a community aspect to the project which I find quite appealing.
I don't know whether I'll make the 50,000 words - I will be quite surprised if I do! - but I need a project for the next little while, and as writing is so good for me, I thought it might be a good time to step up and really have a go at one of the many projects I've had brewing away at the back of my brain.
So, the countdown is on: NaNoWriMo starts in six days, and I have still have some planning to do.
I thought I'd resurrect this blog to keep a record of my "NaNoWriMo journey", because I'm sure it's going to be a very interesting one - definitely more akin to a back route over mountaintops than a smooth ride along a highway.
Wish me luck!
