Another year, another month ahead of frantic noveling for thousands of people! And this is a very special year. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, and singularly responsible for the world's coffee and RedBull shortages, National Novel Writing Month is a great event.

After failing to complete NaNoWriMo 2006 and 2007, I'm not even going to attempt to do it this time. Having said that, the approach of NaNoWriMo this year has given me inspiration for the novel I'd like to write 'one day'. Whether that day will ever come, I don't know yet! So for this year I will simply offer support and encouragement from afar (and on the forums) until the fantastic efforts of those taking part this year come to a close.

For more information, check out the National Novel Writing Month website. You'd probably be more successful than me!
