National Novel Writing Month is upon me...

G´day,

And a literal aehm literatureical aeh...you know authors do it...well whatever greeting to my congregation: Hello Emily, Josara, Julia, Cord, Daniel, Andrew, Scott, Bill and Jan.

The National Novel Writing Month has begun and I am a part of it. It works like this, every participant tries to create a novel with at least 50.000 words between Nov 1st 0.00h and Nov. 30th 23.59h, which means writing 1.666 and 2/3 words a day. It's the 10th year this thing takes place and if you are interested in the history click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanowrimo

Well, the people who organise the whole thing might be good at creative writing but it can be doubted that they are good at creative abbreviationing, I mean NaNoWriMo...sounds like a character from a Japanese anime movie. I can't come up with a good abbreviation either right now but I already wrote my 1.666 and 2/3 words so my creativity for the day has been pretty much used up. And the other thing I have to comment on, it's not national novel writing, it's international but I guess IntNoWriMo is even worse than NaNoWriMo, abbreviationwise.

Apart from writing my daily 1.666 and 2/3 words I would like to do a daily blog during this month as I reckon it's a good way to reflect on what I've written and also I might be able to dispose some ideas here...wait and see...

Well, that's it for the day I have been playing indoor soccer again today, lost again but the potential is surely there. And I've been clothes-shopping with Josara and I also feel quite sick since yesterday so now it's enough for the day...btw for my family, yes, I have uploaded the pictures...so have fun, take care and cya...
