We'll be writing novels

And now that I remember it, why not publish my intent of taking part in NaNoWriMo 2009, too. I mean, the more I broadcast it, the less likely it is that I'll give up after the first few days of writing...

To those who have no idea whatsoever what I'm talking about, I will give a brief summary and then direct you to the people that know how to excite you about this far better than I do. NaNoWriMo, short for National Novel Writing Month takes place in November, when all more or less insane, writer-like people get mentally together and pen a min. 50,000 word novel. Anyone who thinks like a mad dash to pen 50,000 words of plotless nonsense, join me at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng.
(*snorts* Posting that link made me feel so professional)

I've got some ideas as to how to get this thing running, mainly character descriptions. Right now, being June, I don't feel hugely concerned even though I don't have a solid plot - no starting point and no finishing point, just the general feel of where I'm going - because it's pretty early now. And anyway, I think that it's slowly forming, since sometimes when I come up with new characters, they click pretty solidly and instantly form ties to something I've created before.

Even though I feel like this will slowly form into something (with something I mean something incoherent I will have enormous amounts of fun writing during November), I think I won't be putting any ideas down just yet, because I'm known to change my mind pretty drastically. When I set my spork down in a definite manner, I will be informing you, however.

Join us, people! I'm trying to get some people I know and some people other people know together, so we can assemble together in November to write, underage and not allowed in bars as we are.
