Night in Tunisia

Nanowrimo

Well now, here's another interesting tidbit from the Loren-Tiara duo. Once more we're going to brave the crazy month of November and try to crank out 50,000 words... That's right, we said 'once more.' See, last year we managed to write a book. A short book, granted, and one that needs lots of editing, but a book all the same. In a month. Not bad, eh?

Anyone out there feeling up to the challenge? If so, check out The NaNoWriMo Website. Still not really sure what I'm talking about? Okay, I suppose that's fair too.

NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and was started a bunch of years ago by a pod of geeks out in California. They were thinking, hey, I've never written a novel - and isn't that something that you're supposed to do before you die? Or maybe they weren't thinking that. I don't actually know, but they did start this challenge amoung each other. Since then it's grown a little bit... This year they're looking at something like over 50,000 participants, they have a school program, they have a laptop lending library, they have a cool website...

Check it out, even if you're only moderately interested :-)
