NaNoWriMo

Hey! So I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year!

I've wanted to participate the past two years, but haven't been able to because of school, the day job, life, etc etc. I wanted to participate this year, too, but I wasn't sure if I could swing it. But, I also knew if I didn't do it this year, it would be a couple years in the future before I could consider it because come January, I'm going to be picking school up again—full time. I've never done school full-time before, and I'm sure I'm going to be super swamped.

So! I decided to just go for it. We'll see what happens.
Also, my sister may or may not have helped me talk myself into it.
It went something like this:

Me: I already have TWO novels to edit. Do I really need another one?
Her: Of course!
Me: *taps finger to lip* You're totally right.
She's such an enabler, that one! Okay, maybe I didn't need much pushing, but. still. Seriously though, I don't know what I'd do without her. She also helped me decide which project to do for NaNo (I was tossing around three ideas).

I'm also doing something a little different with this project. I'm usually a 'tweener—I outline a little, I pants a little. I do have the beginning, middle, and end—all the BIG THINGS—planned, but other than that, I've decided to pants the whole thing. I wanted to do a whole no-idea-left-behind thing. I'm pretty excited to see what happens.

Are you NaNo-ing?! Buddy me at jessicahill! =D
