I did it last year, and to prove it wasn’t a fluke I’m going to do it again this year.

That’s right, November is National Novel Writing Month and once again I’m stepping up to the plate. What’s different this time around? For starters, I intend to actually have the key plot elements figured out in advance.

I’ll pause while you recover from the shock.

Producing 50,000 words in 30 days isn’t easy, but it’s also not impossible. The tricky parts will be coming up with a good (enough) story, managing it during the month of OryCon, and improving my ability to convey a sense of environment. That’s right, I’m viewing this year’s effort as part of a learning process instead of a simple challenge to pile words upon more words. Go, me!

Wish me luck, friends. I suspect I’m going to need it.

(By the way, does anyone else think that this year’s Participant Icon

is vastly inferior to last year’s?

Ah well.)
