National Novel Write Month

Updates have been pretty much non existent over the last month. I've been so busy lately but I think that will have to change so I can post a little more.

So each year for the past three years I've been writing a novel during the month of November for National Novel Write Month. I'm excited to do so again, and this time I feel like I'll really get into it this year and join fellow writers around my college campus.

I've got all of this month to think up how I'm going to write it, and the name of the characters. I'll probably need to go over some basic plots and characters as well. Nothing that I'll write down though. It's more of my style to think of something in my head and let it mutate into something I might find interesting enough to write about or write in the general area of. In the end I always write in a very amorphous fashion. The novel might start off with a certain premise, or novelty plot device I intend to use, but end up turning out completely different then what I expect. So far it's been working out fairly well. I wouldn't want any of my novels to be published because they aren't of the proper quality, I don't think they ever will be but you never know, dreams do come true sometimes.

I hope many other people decide to join.
