Here it is, two days till the last day of summer, fall looming ahead. The leaves changing, a brisk bite in the air, and the start of the holiday seasons. For many, it is dreaded, but to others, it's their favorite time of the year. And for no one is this more true than to all the writers and would-be writers in the world.

This is the time of year a young writers fancy turns to NaNoWriMo! That most blessed event that happens every November when you scramble to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days with thousands of other like minded people around the world.

No matter the reasoning one has, it's an event worth trying -- you'll come away from it with something. For more info and to join the insanity, check out the site at NaNoWriMo. Sign up starts Oct. 1st.

I'm definitely contemplating doing this. I heard about it on a writing podcast, and it sounds great.

I have done NaNoWriMo for the last two years, and I'm definitely going to do it for the third year.

Now I'll just have to think what I'm going to write about.
