Would you read something I wrote?
So I was over at Miles From Fenway and I've learned that November is NaNoWriMo (Kinda like BiMonSciFiCon, but not at all). Oddly enough, I'm considering it. Writing a novel is one of those ideas I've had kicking around in my head for a couple years now, but I've always used being in school as an excuse. Well I'm not in school right now so I don't have the excuse. Now I know what you're probably thinking. This motherfucker can't even write a decent blog, and now he thinks he's gonna be the next Tom Clancy? Fuck that. Or you might have thought that without the swearing (but I doubt it). Anyway, I don't really expect myself to punch out 50,000 words in a month, and if by some miracle I do, I really don't expect it to be good (Hell if someone can read the first 3 pages and put it down without swearing I'll declare victory), but it'll give me something to do besides smoking crack*. And now that I've posted about it, it becomes semi-official. Therefore the deadline becomes more 'real', and if you know anything about me you probably know that I eat deadlines for breakfast. On a related note I also cross the word "Cheerios" off on my cereal boxes and scribble "Deadlines" in, so thats something to think about too.

Now all I need are some characters and a plot. I figure once I've got that covered the book oughta write itself right? Right.

*You smoke crack right? Man, I really need a refresher course in drug usage.
