NaNoWriMo 2008 is fast approaching. Have you signed up yet? In preparation, my TAS and I have agreed to do some writing exercises together in the month of October. We both have the very excellent book of writing excercises The 3am Epiphany, so each Monday in October I will choose by random number generator a number that corresponds to the number of an excercise in the book. We’ll spend the week writing it and post the results of our efforts on our respective blogs the following Friday.
Want to play along? Get yourself a copy of The 3am Epiphany* and let me know if you want to join in by leaving a comment here by Sunday 10/5. And spread the word, will ya? If there’s enough interest, I’ll do an email list and/or Mr. Linky thing to get everybody writing and reading and practicing for our Olympic event–novelling. Sound like fun?
*Don’t have it? Don’t want to fork over the cash? I totally understand. Check your local library. Also, you could always take note of the assignment number and head over to Borders or B&N and take a peek at the exercise for that week.
Knitting Interrupted 
I hope you dont mind, but Im gonna steal this post and put it up on my blog too. You’ve said everything that needs to be said and I dont feel like working hard to resay it in my words. nano is coming after all!
and uh, naturally, I will credit you.
If there’s an e-mail list, please add me to it – I have the book, I’m going to try NaNo again, and this would be a most excellent prod!
ME ME ME! Well….let me qualify that. I *think* I’d like to participate in NoNoWriMo this year; I got the book about doing it and, as we speak (so to speak) I have a copy of Kiteley’s book being held for me at Borders. I’d have gone tonight but my jammies are real ugly and I’m already in ’em. Just found you via Chaos—I don’t know if I Have What It Takes to do this, either in time or skill, but I’m powerful tempted to give it a shot. May I? (And I’m going back to look at the official NaNoWriMo site too.)
Hi,
I am interested in joining in with you. I don’t have the book, but have just ordered it, so it will just depend on how long it takes to get to me.
I have registered for NaNoWriMo and this will be my first time. No clue as to what i am doing, but am excited by the challenge.
Have only written freelance feature articles for magazines so fiction writing is a whole new ball game for me…
