I’ve seen it around PPS before, but never really knew what the heck it was about. Until my friend Pat called me and harassed encouraged me to join. So I went home and read about it in the papers. Very interesting, i thought, then i checked out Bibliobibuli‘s blog, coz I remember reading something about it there.
And guess what, I decided to join nanowrimo 2005!
The project is to get people to write a 50,000-word novel in the 30 days of November. There are no prizes, no strict rules or no pre-qualifications. They just want to encourage people to start writing.
For the lowdown, you can check out the official site, and there’s a blog by local nano-ers. (by the way, i also found out this dude and this guy also joined…)
So what am I going to write about? Er… no idea. Probably something along the lines of Gaiman’s Neverwhere or DBC Pierce’s Vernon God Little. Or not.
Eek. Well, at least if no one reads it, I’ll make Pat read it til the end, hor, Pat hor? 🙂
somehow eyeris’ Jesper the Talking Hamster seems like a fantastic idea now…
