Well, it’s about to begin. Why do people run in a marathon? It’s the competition — and the encouragement. November 1 begins the National Novel Writer’s Month, where thousands of aspiring writer’s across the globe strive to pound out 50,000 words in thirty days (that’s about 175-230 pages).

Join me in my marathon. How? Drop by my site once in a while. Check out my writing progress throughout the month (note the graph on the side of my blog). Post an encouraging comment or email me. It’s the virtual equivalent of handing a winded runner a paper cup of gatorade as they round the final stretch.

Wish me luck!
