72,000 writers. 50,000 words. 1 month.

that's write, folks! i'm an official participant of the 2oo8 nanowrimo contest. my cousin has been talking about it for years and i've always wanted to join up, but never had the guts to do it. let's face it, i've started many a "novel" in my time and they usually hit the punch line around page 4. i always wondered how writers could write about a topic for so long.

i was raised thinking knowing "whether you think you can or you can't, you're right." so, here goes nothing. who knows, maybe something legit will actually come of it. if nothing else, a sense of accomplishment, even if i simply outwrite how much i've ever written before.

so, wish me luck. and if you have any idea of a plot whatsoever, i highly recommend you jumping on board. couldn't hurt to see where it might go..
