The Mandatory Introduction

Hello you! *points* Yes, you there, sitting in front of your computer screen with the weird look on your face. Welcome to my blog dedicated solely to NaNoWriMo. What is NaNoWriMo, you ask? NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, a month of literary abandon known as November, or, the Month of Mass Turkey Consumption.

During this month, the goal of each participant is to sit their butts down and scrawl, type, carve, or dictate a 50,000 word novel that will eventually be submitted to the NaNoWriMo website for some such award and the satisfaction that said participant will have shelled out a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Sounds like a lot of work, yes? Well you're write. Er, right. Ahem. So enough talk about what NaNoWriMo is. Onto more about this blog!

This blog will cover the thirty days of writing that NaNoWriMo 2010 encompasses. I will post word counts, fun facts, helpful tips and links, character/banner/cover art, and the occasional blurb so you can see how horrendous--er, fabulous--my writing is. Let us begin with my logline, a.k.a. synopsis:

A dark fantasy in which an artist gets sucked into the Greek Land of Dreams and must confront her tragic past in the face of a supernatural force threatening world destruction.

Interested? I certainly hope so. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to write a 30-words-or-less logline? Pfft.
