NaNoWriMo

One month. 50,000 words. 175 pages. One novel. I think I am going to tackle it this year. Last year I wanted to but I just didn't. However, this year I feel like I might have enough under my belt to at least attempt the project. We need more Metanetters to get in on this. Who is in?

I might give it a shot. I doubt I'll succeed, but why not.

Alright, I just came up with the most amazing idea for a piece of post-modern literature. Hell, post-modern fails to properly encapsulate the beauty of this novel. It will not be post-modernism, but rather a flawless execution of post-futurism.

Get excited Metanet. This story is going to be amazing.

I stayed late last night to write the outline for my speculative reality novel. We shall compete in post-moderndom.
