When it started showing up in various online communities, I decided that this year, I’d simply forget that Nanowrimo is upon us. I mean, it’s been a long time since I’ve really had anything longer than a blog post that I wanted to write, and there’s no sense starting if I’m just going to lose interest in it by the end of the first week.

(I would like to point out here that choosing November for Nanowrimo is a bit problematic, since that’s when all the good videogames are coming out as Christmas comes rushing at us.)

Then, I told myself that City of Villains comes out at the end of this month (tentatively?), and I could always write 2,000 words a day about an aspiring supervillain. That would make City of Villains time productive time, since I would be busy getting inspiration for the next chapter. …Right? Probably not, but it was an easy way out (assuming, of course, that I would actually write, which seems unlikely, but let me have my delusions, okay?).

Whether that’ll be what I end up writing or not, I have decided, once again, to try to write a very bad novel as quickly as I can write it. I will almost guarantee that no one in their right mind will ever want to read this novel (not even me), but bits of it may actually find their way here. We’ll see.

Anyway, I want to share the pain, so if you haven’t already, go sign up! If you’re a blogger who’s participating, please let me know. I may create a special NaNoWriMo blogroll (so I can share all two of my readers with you).
