National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo

Re: the book I mentioned in my last audblog, below. I love these guys. They've been mentioned in other blogs, too, including Neil Gaiman's. Their philosophy is that you take a month to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. It doesn't matter if it's bad. You can fix it later. But it helps you get past all the self-doubt and perfectionism and have fun. I can't possibly do justice the charm and humor, and all-out usefulness, with which they approach this, so go to National Novel Writing Month. They do it in November, in an on-line community, but you can do it anytime. I may do it myself, just for fun. It could be very freeing!
