ksmithAnd November is almost upon us, and with it that exercise in group masochism known as National Novel Writing Month. 50K words by month's end. They don't have to be good, they just have to be there.
I tried to compete on an informal basis a few times, usually because the release schedule of the books meant that Fall-Winter was my peak writing time. I don't think I ever made 50K words, but I tried.
Anyway, I'll probably use it as an informal yardstick this November as well. I'll be starting in a hole thanks to the fact that I'll be spending 5 days in Madison for WFC--at 1667 words/days, that a lot of lost ground. But, we'll see how we do.

I've never eaten so much--and the recipes are mostly great.
