We've got cheese! And wine! And an author/blogger of dubious sanity (not pictured)!
Yes, it's that time of year again. To most people, it's November, that post-Halloween pre-Christmas run-up-to-Thanksgiving period. To many authors or would-be-authors, it's NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. I've done NaNoWriMo a few times, and it's always a good way to renew focus on your work, though it has its faults. For someone like me who loves to write a fast first draft -- not to mention someone who is occasionally more stubborn than smart -- you can end up on November 30 with a complete short novel of 50,000 words... that is no good at all. Which is what happened to me last year.
This year is different for two reasons. One, I'm very excited about this year's project, and I've got it mostly mapped out.
Two, I have gone totally nutty, and will also be attempting National Blog Posting Month, aka, yes, NaBloPoMo.
So I'll be writing a WHOLE lot about food for the blog. Recipes, how-tos, basics, trips down memory lane, the works. Let's see how it goes!
Aren't you doing NaNoReMo (http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/002623.html) too?
