This month, I will mostly be

Writing a novel it seems. Or at least attempting too.
I've got a start and a very vague idea, but I have no notion where its going or how to get it moving along.
I guess I'll just keep typing and see what comes out.

The weekend was good, lots of sleeping with a great fancy dress party in the middle. Well maybe not great, but it was fun, lots of drink and silly behaviour and falling over. Will get the pictures sorted out sometime later.

So, are any of the rest of you doing the nanowrimo thing planning to let people actually read what you write? I'm unsure about this. As long as only I read it, I can pretend its vaguely good and keep going. I have a feeling if someone else looks at it and doesn't like it, I'll just give up.

Maybe ones its in full swing, I'll feel better about it. I still can't believe I'm actually attempting this!

You can always change halfway through if it doesn't work out - someone was giving tips about this kind of thing on the forums... basically saying "Just make a note and keep writing - tell yourself that any fixing that has to be done has already been done - going back and doing the fixing is a job for December".

I'm in several minds as to what voice is actually telling the story. I guess I'll decide when I start writing later then :)

heh good point, I guess I can always switch and worry about explaining it later :)
I'm mostly doing this just to see if I can write that much. I think it said somewhere else on the site 'its about quantity, not quality'
