If your writer is like me, then he or she will be participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.) Write 50,000 words on a new novel in 30 days (November 1-30). What could be easier?

1. Getting my son to eat spinach.
2. Kicking my caffeine addiction.
3. Reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.

I jest. It’s great fun–when you’re not banging your head against your keyboard, praying for inspiration–and a cool way to shout “Hello!” to your inner creative beast. AND, who knows? You might just write something worthwhile. I myself recently finished editing my first NaNoNovel and am in the process of furiously querying literary agents, searching (okay…begging) for representation.

So join me in the fun and frustration!
