It's been forever...

... since I updated my blog. But I would also like to point out that the Homestar Runner website was last updated 2 days before my previous post here. And that's even a popular site. Therefore, I am not bad.

Anyway.

Hi!

There is another month-long writing 'contest' on the internet that I am contemplating participating in. It's called JulNoWriMo and has only been around for a year or so. With this one you have 31 days to write a 50,000 word novel (a mere 1,613 words per day). Having a full day extra (compared to NaNoWriMo) seems like a boon, but when you do the math it's only 53 fewer words per day. Hardly a big deal.

I am not so interested in completing another novel as I am in venting thoughts and feelings that have been festering inside of me over the years. Perhaps getting them out and into a tangible form will allow me to let go and move on.

Perhaps.

One reason why I don't expect to complete 50,000 words is that I will be gone for part of July. I also don't really have a storyline. I've got some vague autobiographical snippets, and nothing else. It's another case of the journey being more important than the destination. And, well, I've always loved to explore unusual places. May as well try to find my way through my internal netherworld!
