National Novel Writing Month

As you may be aware, November is National Novel Writing Month. The aim is to write a 50,000 word novel by midnight on 30 November.

By uncanny coincidence, my contract for 'The Yellowcake Mystery' states that I must submit the 50,000 word manuscript by 1 December 2006. So I have signed up to NaNoWriMo - it would have been rude not to. (Besides, they email you a weekly pep talk and keep track of your wordcount for you and generally shower you with motivational gimmicks).

These days I tend to do the day job in the mornings and writing in the afternoons and evenings.

Current wordcount will be displayed automatically by the widget on the right of the screen there. Haha, funny old world.
