NaNoWriMo

I've decided I want to have an overall topic for this entire blog, but until I think of something that interests me, I'll have to share on my life.

Yesterday I received a letter from a friend who'd we'd been writing back and forth. In the middle of the letter she told me of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. She told me she had decided to sign up for this aspiration. In this event, the goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. Once I finished the letter I immediately bolted to the computer to sign up http://www.nanowrimo.org/user/225504 (my account if you'd like to see how i've been doing). I've always wanted to do the cliché "write a book before I die", and it's not being published is alright with me, since I can hardly believe the book will be of any quality, since this is about quantity. I still have a few days to come up with a topic the novel will be on, since it must be of fiction, which took away my original idea for this writing. Another friend suggested love, and I am currently waiting her reply of what about love I should write on, but maybe I'll figure out something from the vagueness of it all.
