There’s a fourth kind. The kind that has heard of NaNoWriMo, but has never even remotely contemplated writing a novel. That would be me. Though once I heard of it, I promptly referred it to my nephew who seems to like writing. Don’t think he ever entered though.

Good luck with it!

I certainly enjoy the writing on your blog. I’m sort of in the NaNoReaMo camp. Reading 50,000 words in a month, not a problem.

I must have been in the dark, because I’ve never heard of that!

I think you should enter Charlie, and I think you will win!!

Oh, good grief. Is it NaNoWriMo time again? I’m just going to pretend I didn’t read that. It always sounds like a lot of fun, and I sign up. I write about 100 words and have severe meet-up envy, but then the rest of my life-stuff swallows me up.

But good luck to you, Charlie!

I’ve considered it. I really should. But my November is looking pretty booked up. Maybe I’ll just say screw it and give it a try and if I fail at it, at least I’ve written *something* that’s not my blog. Good luck – and I say if you’re inspired now go for it, it’s a cute gimmick but what if that inspiration dries up by then?

If it helps motivate you, I will ask you every day how your writing is going. And if you skip a day, or didn’t double up one day so you could skip the next, I’ll give you one of those stern, disciplinarian looks I’m so good at. Like, “Hey. Hey, you. You did not write 1600 words. That wasn’t very nice to your inner author.”
