NaNoWriMo

November is National Novel Writing Month and there is a movement called NaNoWriMo to challenge people to write a novel, 50,000 words, in 1 month. I am thinking about taking on this challenge as I have always wanted to write about my teen years. Not a memoir, but a fictional book based on my life.

Now I don't think my life has been all that interesting, but when I have spoken with others about my past, it has been suggested to me that I should write a book about it. I think it is more about the contrast between my drug/alcohol use, looking for God, and just trying to figure out where I fit in.

NaNoWriMo challenges its' writers to just write. Not much, if any at all, editing. I would write and write, then upload what I have written and get my words counted. I will have to think more about this. I think I am leaning towards doing it. Sometimes, I like a good challenge.
