NaNoWhatMo?

This post is being written on my brand-new laptop. I got home from work today, and there it was.

Well, right now it is more of a family room floor top. But I will be using it as an actual laptop quite a bit next month. That is because of Nanowrimo.

November is National Novel Writing Month, abbreviated Nanowrimo. The goal? To write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Last year, over 70,000 people participated. This year, I join them. And I identified a perfect time to insert some writing time. When I go to work, I ride the train. When I come home from work, I ride the train. I don't do much during these trips becides daydream, or sometimes read a novel to keep people from bothering me when I want to be left alone. There is a full hour to an hour and a half of uninterrupted writing time in one day, if I bring my computer along.

In The Beginning

Lately it seems as if everybody has been getting a blog. Well, mostly my sisters and cousins and my mom. So I decided that if I wanted to be one of the cool kids, I should get one, too.

But my life isn't really exciting right now so I see no need to share this with anyone. To put it on private just turns this into an e-journal, though, and I have a journal that works perfectly well already. I don't really need another.

So, I decided to make a public blog, tell no one about it, and see if anyone happens by as an experiment


And if anyone does end up reading this, hello.
