NaNoWriMo 2009 Begins!

It's November 1st, and that means it's time for another year of literary abandon. If you haven't signed up yet, there's still time: www.nanowrimo.org.

This time around, I'm writing a steampunk story, with an arabian nights sort of twist. I've never written steampunk before, and I think this will be the most challenging world-building exercise of any story I've written.

I stayed up Saturday night to do a little midnight writing. It just feels right to start off the event at the exact moment the writing can begin. Then, this (Sunday) afternoon, Kelsey and I went to a write-in at the local library. It looks like the Twin Cities NaNoWriMo scene is hopping: there were probably thirty people who showed up for the four hour event.

Between my midnight writing and the write-in, I clocked in at about 2500 words. Not outrageously prolific, but a little bit of a head start on the daily 1667.
