Let's start at the very beginning...

Found out about NaNoWriMo while following some writers on Twitter. Kept wondering for a few days what the #NaNoWriMo tag stands for and finally got curious enough to look. Well it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Authors commit to try and write a 50,000 (yes fifty thousand) word novel in one month.


For some writers this seems trivial, for others it is a challenge, for me; it seems like a daunting task at par starting from my sedentary office life and deciding to climb K2 next week. But there has been a story in my head for the last few years. It's been begging to be put on paper for at least a year now, and so I figured this will be the opportunity to do so.


This blog may be short lived, but I think it will be intense. It maybe a record of my success, or a chronicle of my failure from which I can learn some lessons the next time I try this.


So wish me luck, walk along with me, encourage me, or mock me as I try this impossible feat. They will all give me strength!
