Edit not

NaNoWriMo is an organization dedicated to the belief that everyone has a crappy novel in them somewhere. And if they could just get that crappy novel OUT -- then it has a chance of becoming something decent.

To that end, they declare every November, "National Novel Writing Month." You register on their site by Halloween, then you have till midnight your time, Nov 30, to submit your novel. Their computer auto-counts the spaces to see if you have the requisite 50,000 words and sends you a confirmation if you do. That's it.

I signed up. I've only written 45,424 words in this blog in 6 months; guess I'll have to up the spew rate. Maybe that's their point: "Edit not."
