NaNoWriMo begins in 8 days
It is about to come again. The annually held NaNoWriMo, also known as the National Novel Writing Month, designates November of every year as the time for frentic and suicidal attempts to write out a 50,000 word novel by the end of the month.
And this time, they are not starting without me.
The pits of writing hell are waiting, and I’ll join the rest of suffering writers as we all aim for the target of writing ourselves into lifeless authors of 50k-worded essays: all in one month!
Please do contact me if you wish to join me in the noble cause for writing without criticism; meanwhile, I am going to squirrel away all the nice new materials to sustain this blog while I plough headlong into a month of keyboard banging.
After all, it won’t be nice for this blog to hang like a desert while I am having fun tearing my hair out over my novel, right? Progress updates when I hit the milestones!

Hey soon Bing! Anyway writing anything within a time constraint is always a challenge for me. I dont know why but everytime i’m faced with a time limitation I find myself with even more cases of severe writer’s block.

Wow, for me, Writer’s Block is just the internal critic on Red Bull. When I am writing something, I just suppress the little fellow, or try to murder it. Somehow it keeps my writing going, so I guess I must be doing something right
