November is National Novel Writing Month. It is a beautiful thing, and anyone who has a creative cell in their brain should try it just for fun!

The gist is this: in the month of November, you write a novel. Yup, you have 30 days to write 50,000 words. It's exhaustingly exhilarating. I think I've only ever finished once, but it's good fun, even if you don't make it to the end. And when you do make it to the end, it's like you've just invented a time machine and all of your dreams are about to come true. That's how good it feels.
Every year around this time, I start to get that same feeling - the jittery, slightly nauseous feeling of anticipation, and the back of my mind is occupied with the knowledge that NaNoWriMo starts in less than a month. I get an adrenaline rush just thinking about it.
