chapter 57: me and ernest

yup, i'm back, with a new, bigger (and possibly even more foolish) adventure. starting november 1st, i will start on the road to fulfilling a lifelong goal of writing a novel. like many people, i've wanted to do this for a long time. i've even started a few times, but never finished for various reasons. this time, it's personal.

not only will i start this novel on november 1st, but i will also finish it by the end of the calendar month. impressive, no?

it's part of national novel writing month, a novel in a month contest...that you guessed it, challenges you to write...a novel in a month.

i know you're all excited, i can already hear the buzz building. to do this, i will have to write 1,667 words a day. and no, you can't read it until it comes out in print...no doubt a bestseller.

but i will be posting updates, word counts, psychotic rantings as the month grows shorter, my beard grows thicker, and my sanity wears thinner.

so follow along, it's gonna be a helluva ride.

ps - i apologize in advance for any jerkish leanings i might display throughout november.
