because i’m crazy.

November marks National Novel Writing Month and National Blog Posting Month.
I’m thinking about going for broke — writing both a novel and posting about writing the novel as I go.
Fuck it. I’m gonna do it. What is there to lose?
OR…what about this doozy…write the novel as blog posts! Could you imagine having your first draft totally out there? It’s like exposing dirty underwear! LOVE it. (Though let me be clear that my underwear is stark white, and even in its constant pristine state, I would never expose it.)
That’s the ticket. I’m going to do that bad boy.
Thank God Script Frenzy, when we all blow the wad writing a screenplay, is in April.
I can’t wait. By the way, I like the new look of your blog. Very elegant!
You go girl! I’m in NaBloPoMo right there wit ya!
That’s awesome. I actually stumbled across another blog that is something like your idea. The author is posting his novel as he goes. I can’t for the life of me remember what the hell it was called, though. Sorry.
If I come across it again, I’ll forward you the name. Good luck this month!
that’s similar to how I set up one of my anon blogs and it’s INCREDIBLY freeing to write from the gut without anyone finding out who’s behind the curtain!!! (Tom has rights to publish in the event of my death. Wow. That was morbid.) Maybe you should set it up anon first because it may help get you going and that way you won’t beat yourself up if you don’t stick to a post everyday? Either way, Good luck and enjoy the process!!!
