Hi,
I am in my third year of participation with the National Novel Writing Month, and about to finish my third novel.

I've learned that writing a novel is far, far easier than we make it out to be. Writing a GOOD novel is far more difficult. I was surprised, however, how good my novels turned out. I was pleasantly amazed, actually... they are pure drivel and unpublishable, don't get me wrong, but I know that looking at what I have done so far, and how I am improving year by year, I could write something publishable eventually.

SO, I'm simply writing one novel a year until I die. While working on my novels, I am honing my writing skills by keeping a blog (beagley.livejournal.com) where I try to write real, legible articles that any stranger might find interesting. I aim to explore all the fanciful ideas and daydreams I've had over the years, and am having the time of my life.

I can not recommend NaNoWriMo enough. It has really changed my life.

Pick up a copy of "No Plot, No Problem," the NaNoWriMo bible.
