NaNoWriMo

The National Novel Writing Month (or, for brevity, NaNoWriMo) is a yearly event in which, during the thirty days of November, participants attempt to write a 50,000 word novel. It is something of a contest, though the writers are merely attempting to beat the word-count and not one another. 'Winners" received a web image as well as a certificate stating such and, most importantly, a feeling of achievement and a (probably poor) complete novel which they own all rights to.

This year, I will finally be participating. I've toyed with the idea since I first heard of it in my Sophomore year in high school, but never had the conviction required. This, however, had changed, as I've found that I have no excuse to not partake in this event. I will probably update as I progress along with my novel, but I will wish to get at least part way into it before posting excerpts. You can see I've also added the image on the right to signify my approaching demise.

  3. If i had to make your cd all over again, i'd play In The Aeroplane Over The Sea much faster. i want to stab myself by the time i get halfway through listening to it.


    Recording the bridge i rigged my mic up at the end of my hallway, closed all the doors, and stood at the opposite end. i basically just shouted it with my hands in front of my mouth.

    and then i put it behind the actual song.


    i felt like a goober. I still do.
    The things i do for you, Kendle Kelley.
