What're the odds, d'you think?

There's this thing called National Novel Writing Month, abbreviated to the aesthetically questionable NaNoWriMo, wherein thousands of individuals set themselves the personal challenge of writing a 50,000-word novel during the calendar month of November.

Last year was, I believe, the first such event. The second begins tomorrow.

[ETA: My mistake. It's actually been going on for a number of years now. Shame on NaNo for not making that clear on their "about" page...]

I will not be participating.

I once had an idea for a novel but not once, ever, the inclination to pursue it.

But there's this other thing, devised by an entirely different set of folks. They're calling it NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month, naturally) and the somewhat more modest goal is to produce one blog post a day for the calendar month of November.

Sheryl's doing it. Kit's doing it. And look, so're Erin and The Teacher. I'm thinking I'll do it as well.

So see you tomorrow.

(Oh, and about Yoda. I know you're wondering. There were two versions of the logo - the official one was kind of a "Post or Die" theme, and involved a handgun. This was the non-violent alternative logo. May the Force be with us all.)
