Something to keep you occupied

November is National Novel Writing Month. Okay, so that's ... er ... months away yet, but I thought I'd draw your attention to it now. (Instead of marking Honours thesis. Yes, I've finished the lectures and have moved on. And off again.)

Here's the blurb from the NaNoWriMo web site:

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

What a hoot! Check out their web site for more information. I dare you to take part! Double dare you. I'll be giving it a go.
