In honour of NaNoWriMo, I am going to experiment for a month with NOT WRITING A NOVEL, because that's probably far better for everyone concerned. What I will be doing, is experimenting with going FRIENDS ONLY on this journal. I get a lot of anonymous comments, I know, and I'm sorry for all of you anons, I'd rather keep everything open, but frankly, I can't be fucking bothered anymore.

If you've friended me and I've friended you back but I actually haven't ever heard from you since in the form of comments on this journal, I'm cutting you off, I've had enough of lurkers as well.

As you were.

I too will not be writing a novel for Nano... (although I was feeling particular pedantic I would say that 50K words is not novel length - that's a novella) ... neither will I be posting a ticker of how many words I have not written!

I usually spend the other 11 months of the year rather half-arsedly not writing a novel, but I find that in November, I can really focus on the task. It helps a lot knowing that so many other people like yourself are going through the same thing and we can all support each other and encourage each other to not write a novel together.

Lord yes, I love November for just this reason.

I cherish the opportunity to not explore meaningful themes. I actually believe that this year I can manage to wring about minus-70,000 words out of the idea I don't have. Very challenging!

Thank you, Hel! It's not a novel. I've been on the inside-side of publishing enough to know that. You don't know how many of the small presses hate December when they get hit with all the so-called novels from NaNo that people want published.

*waves at Ten* Hiya, again. Have a hug and some Bailey's Irish Creme. Sounds like you need a drink. *grin*
