Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo.  Ok, for those of you who don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, NaNoWriMo is the equivalent of a marathon for writers.  The idea is to write every day of the month with the completion of a 50,000 word novel by November 30.  When it comes to National Novel Writing Month there is no chance for editing along the way, no winners and no prizes.  You might be asking, Why bother?  Well, if you’ve been meaning to write the great American (or the great Canadian) novel for years now, but just haven’t gotten around to it, NaNoWriMo  just might be the push you need. Besides, you can meet other writers, get pep talks and support, or just commiserate.  So stop talking about it, get yourself signed up, and get writing.
