I am crazy. I've undertaken the mission that many writers do... write a complete 50,000 word novel from scratch before the end of November. NaNoWriMo is a wonderful, but insane idea. I mean really, who thought of this?
No, in reality, I love it. It may be slightly unusual to non-writers, and it may be one big pain in some ways, but I think this is the most I've gotten out of my head in daily sittings. I feel like a word zombie, just type typing away.
I am a bit intimidated by the thought of a novel being completed in such a short amount of time. It's been interesting so far, and I'm hoping I can keep my idea on the right path and not deviate or get writer's block. *Crosses fingers, knocks on wood* In six days, I have managed to write a good chunk of the story I thought of, and write over 12,000 words. (I will not even begin to think of how many of those words might not be necessary... I leave that for editing at a later point in time.) And, because I have been writing by hand and by computer so much, I think my right hand is something to be feared. (Just kidding, I may have super fast typing skills and stronger hand muscles in my dominant hand, but I'm still fairly wimpy as far as strength.)
Wee, I also think I'm fighting off a cold or something, as my head hurts slightly. Then again, for how loopy I am, it might be the little sleep I've run on for the past few days.
Anyways, for those who might be attempting NaNo, I wish you luck. For those who are not, please keep up your artistic endeavors, whatever they might be.
