AHHH!!!

AHH! My fingers are going to kill me pretty soon. It seems like I've been writing all the time, even though I really haven't made all that much progress. I didn't make it to my 6,668 works goal yesterday, so TODAY I have to get my word count up to 8334.

Yikes.

I even stayed up until midnight last night writing.

I really want to complete this thing, just so I can say I have written quite a bit. Even if I'm only 13.

Hey, never to young to start practicing, right?

If I do complete my goal of 50,000 words, I'll send it to NaNoWriMo between 11/25 and 11/30 to get a special certificate saying I completed NaNoWriMo, a banner for my blog, and my name on the winners page.

There aren't any special prizes for best writing or plot or anything like that, they just want all of the "I'd like to write a novel someday" people to finally sit down and write a novel, even though a 50,000 word novel is pretty short. You can create a bigger goal for yourself, but you'd have to be a really fast typist to complete it!

Now, if you aren't sure you could do 50,000 words, you can go to the home page of NaNoWriMo, http://nanowrimo.org/
and click on the link for the kids website, for people ages 17 and under, who want a smaller goal.

I hope somebody will join me in NaNoWriMo!

I'll post soon, and hopefully not about NaNoWriMo! Sorry if I'm boring you.....=)
