Tracking the Failure

Paul Hawke has come up with a neat graph utility to show the progress towards 50,000 words. I've put it up on the sidebar. If you want, you can track your failure too. But you might actually win this thing. What do I know.

I have to admit, I feel like someone who has been inside for the winter about to run a marathon in the spring.

So I am doing this NaNoWriMo thing. I have had this Sci-Fi novel stuck in my head for over ten years and it's about time I did something about it. There is no way I can write anything serious until I get this out of the way.

I don't know if I will make it. In fact, I probably won't. 50,000 words is an awful lot to do in a month. Considering I work too much, type almost all day at my job and I have Halo 2 and EverQuest 2 coming out to vie for my time. That and I don't think I have 50,000 words of patience. Or that much to say. But we shall see.

Oh yeah, and I am doing the NaNoBlogMo thing too. I won't be publishing the whole thing, just snippets. And word to the wise of any NaNoWriMo-ers reading this -- don't use Blogger to write your novel. But by all means, put it up here.
