Novel Writing for Eccentrics.

November, for those not in the know, is the month after October. It is also Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. However, The Sofa is not interested in these facts.

November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. The challenge - write 50,000 words in 30 days. And have superly insane monkey-barrels of fun while doing it.

"50,000 words?!" The Sofa hears you faintly cry. "How could anyone write that much?" With enough enthusiasm, perseverance and almost complete disregard for personal hygiene and relations (XD) it can be done.

The Sofa has done NaNo for the last two years, and won both times. The first, 'Werewolfish Reality', was about a modern werewolf, who has to travel to Antarctica to save the whole of werewolfkind. However, due to a lack of plot, she and her friend Francis end up in the Land of INSANITY, where they meet the Order of the Underwear, a talking, purple moose and royalty who must be known by their full, six word names at all times. The second... we don't talk about the second novel... It's 50,000 words that no-one is ever going to read. :)

The Sofa highly reccomends it to anyone who has any interest in writing, has nothing to do in November, or enjoys having fun. It's the craziest, randomest, most enjoyable and best month of the year for the Sofa. You can just let your imagination run riot.

The Sofa will be documenting its progress on this blog. Hope it inspires you!
