A novel idea!
NaNoWriMo = a fab idea. While reading the blogs of people on my Links list, I found info about the weirdly-named project on Southern Bird's site. In the 'About' section of NaNoWriMo there's a sentence which says: "Writing a novel in a month is both exhilarating and stupid, and we would all do well to invite a little more spontaneous stupidity into our lives." That's the premise of the project: write a 50,000 word novel in November, starting at midnight on November 1st and finishing at midnight on November 30th. I've never attempted anything like this before, but writing a novel is on my list of lifetime goals. I know this will be rushed and probably crap, but you know what they say: nothing ventured, nothing gained! Now's as good a time as any to start writing, so why not give it a go? Unfortunately it looks like anything uni-related will probably go out of the window next month, but hey-ho, these things happen.Speaking of lifetime goals, I've recently started to think of things which I would like to do before I die. One is to write a novel, something I'll hopefully be able to cross off the list soon! Other things on the list include all the typical, generic kind of goals, like riding in a hot air balloon, running a marathon and learning a foreign language (preferably Spanish or Italian, or maybe French since I already know the basics). That's all I've got so far, apart from getting married, having healthy children and being happy. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
