NaNoWriMo Begins

I hadn't planned to share, but I am going to attempt to write my first novel. In one month. With the other crazy people at NaNoWriMo.



 I have not written fiction since college and I only took one semester of creative writing. But they say "No Plot! No Problem!" at the top of their blog, so I'm trying not to feel too scared.

This post has a question asking for tips for first-timers and it is suggested that you tell everyone you know that you are writing a novel. For accountability, aka shame, because now you can all shame me when I don't make it to 50,000 words in 30 days.
