NaNoWriMo time!!! (almost)

A blog post will be out soon, but this article IS IMPORTANT!
It's almost NOVEMBER PEOPLE! DO YOU KNOW WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT?
Well, if you don't, KEEP READING. And if you do, just read it anyway :D



NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is a joyice, somewhat crazy time when people from all walks of life come together with a common goal: to write a 50,000 word book in 30 days. You might be asking yourself, why do this? Well, I'll tell you. One reason, for there are many, is to force yourself to write. To write freely and without worry. To write without thinking, did I spell this right? Does that sound right? This is too silly, isn't it? The ability to write freely is a virtue no author takes for granted, which brings us to our second reason, and probably the biggest.
The main goal for this crazy, no, no, insane goal is to come out an author. Most people will agree that you're not an author until you've written a book; here's your opportunity, run with it! And what could be better than coming out a fully-fledged author? I can't think of a thing.
Although making it to the 50K mark is incredible (plus you get a really snazzy winner certificate that positively begs for a frame) just knowing you worked hard to do what you've always wanted to do is one amazing feet.
So go ahead, register at NaNoWriMo.com and you can begin writing on November 1st. Come on, you know you want to. What are you, scared? :)

Special Surprise ALERT!!!

SO, I wouldn't normally do this, however, I have for you the countdown timer for Behemoth, the sequal to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan. The novel is coming out TOMORROW, (Tues. October 5th) I suggest you make the time to pick up the book, should you wish to read it. Who knows, it might sell out.

Westerfeld said on his blog that the countdown timer has a secret. I WONDER WHAT IT IS!!!!
