A NOVELIST? ME?

A funny thing happened on the way on my way to insanity tonight... I had an revelation.

November is National Novel Writing Month. I have an online acquaintance who will be participating in the program, which challenges all budding authors/and non-authors for that matter to write a 50,000 word novel during the month.

Now I'll never be confused with Nick Hornby or John Grisham or even Jackie Collins, but it sounds like a way to channel some of my nervous energy rather than let it eat way at me. It might not be the best idea -- how on earth am I gonna write 50,000 words while working a full-time job? -- but maybe it's something I can try. I may never finish it, but who knows? Maybe I'll even have something that you guys might want to read.

Nah... that would be too presumptive of me.
