so here's the deal: i am tring to decide if i'm going to jump in and try nanowrimo this year.  i just discovered its existence recently and i have been going back and forth on this for acouple of weeks now.  maybe i should just lurk this year...50K is a lot of words.  but then, if i try and don't make 50K, who cares?  pretty much no one but me.  so that's not a good enough reason NOT to do it.  i have never attempted to write something that long.  not even to get 10K words into something that long.  so is inexperience a good reason not to try?  probably not, because, hey, you've got to start somewhere, right?  and i like novels.  i like reading them.  it's always been sort of a secret dream in the back of my mind that one day, maybe, i would write one.  and this might just be the best time in real life for me to do this.  also, what a great birthday present to myself, starting a novel!  how exciting!  and i do have an idea already - thus the hemoglobin themed LJ.  i can do this.

so, okay, i think i've talked myself into nanowrimo.  off to join the comm.
