NaNoWriMo: It Begins!

And so, it begins.
In just over 5 hours, I will be embarking on one of the most daunting, stimulating, exciting and fascinating events of my life, thus far. In just 30 days time, I will have written over 50,000 words of my novel, "It Made All The Difference".
It will be mentally draining, but I don't really care. This is something that I want to do. It's something I have to do. I have a story to tell, and it is bouncing around my head, trying to get out. If I let it out, in theory, my head will clear and I will be able to get down to the rest of the stories battling for supremacy in my head.
As daunting and intimidating as this might seem, I'm going to do it. I'm going to be a NaNoWinner, as they call it. That means that I will have reached and verified my word count of 50,000 words. And the cool thing is that two people I know from the real world are doing it too. A couple of people from my Tumblr blog that I talk to are thinking about it. I hope they both do it, as their writing, from what I have seen, is wonderful.
I hope to be able to make regular updates as to my progress. But, until then, I have 5 hours to finish my outline and then get some sleep. Tomorrow, it begins...
