perfidy

Today is day one of a month of enjoyable hell. Or miserable heaven. Or... something. I have just under 30 days from this moment to complete a 50,000 word novel. EDog is the son of a bitch who got me hooked on this idea. So I, and perhaps you, have him to blame. In the meantime, go read his second National Novel Writing Month effort, Propane Jockeys. John from Texas Best Grok is also participating in the madness - check out his efforts as well.

I am an innovative procrastinator. For starters, I'm writing this post. Also, I haven't come up with a name for my novel larva. So, once everyone has had a chance to read a bit of what I'm going to post, submit title suggestions in the comments.

As I was preparing to post the first chunk of my magnum opus, I realized with horror that I didn't have a category for my novel posts. This led to almost an hour of web searching, photoshopping and web admining, and so I can no present to you our new Perfidious category, NaNoWriMo. Click on that link, or the category link in the left toolbar, and you will be able to access all of my novel related posts. Or, just watch for the watch icon on new posts, and you'll know that during novel writing month, there is only one time, and that is too late.

The first chunk should be up shortly, and more later this evening. I'm going to try to get to the required average speed of 1667 words a day for the first week, then pick up the pace because I know I'm going to be wicked short of time come Thanksgiving.

I hope you enjoy it.
