In other Alli news , guess whats starting soon?? That's right, NaNoWriMo ! That's right! They have it every November. The goal is to write a novel in 30 days, which is about 100k words, or 25k words a week, give or take. I get excited about doing this every year and every year, I end up not doing it for some odd reason. Its basically for people who wanna write a novel but havent been able to sit down and get one going. It doesnt have to be perfect or near perfect (after all, editing is for the rest of the year!) If you check the forums there, they have people who spend the rest of the year researching, creating characters, getting plots ready, etc. Some of the people on there are pretty hardcore lol. Soooo anyone wanna do it with me? O.O (you can always back out at the last minute if ya like, hehe)
