A few years ago I tried to do NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo as you obviously already know is NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth. I had thought about doing it again this year. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Obviously I didn’t achieve that when I tried years ago and I haven’t started so I’m not on pace now.

However in my information search about NaNoWriMo I came across an idea called the 750 Words. Every morning you write 750 words. About anything that’s on your mind or anything at all. I figure there’s a few reasons for the 750 words. One it allows you to get anything on your mind off it to start the day write. Two it gets you writing on a daily basis. Three it seems to me that 750 words is just long enough to make you not only write out what you are thinking of (or your initial idea) but also force you to expand upon it. Which is not an easy skill.

So I will write on my blog everyday in November from here on out. 750 words (if I have a word count available to me that is). But 750 words is nothing to shake a stick about. I’m not even close with this entry.

But… Uhm… the 750 doesn’t start til tomorrow. Its Saturday. The end of the week. I need to start fresh tomorrow. So expect a 750 word entry tomorrow. If nothing else I’ll use my Rory’s Story Cubes to get some ideas of what to write about.

However I am kind of excited. I think I may like to turn my blog into a slightly more introspective thing. Or at least make it more personal and full of my thoughts as opposed to a collection of incidents. And having a daily blog piece might correlate nicely to my daily drawings. Of which I still try to do, but need to get much more better at scanning them.

The only off limit thingis work. I refuse to write about workon my blog (other than to say I had a longday, or hard day, or maybe was frustrated at work). No details though.
