Know thyself ... and start on the second day.

I have found myself the ultimate "get yourself moving and write" site. Well, I thought I had yesterday.  This year's National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) has begun. The theory : begin writing on November 1st with a goal to write  a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.   http://www.nanowrimo.org/          Simples.   Or rather, not at simple as I thought. I had all good intentions this morning. Even knowing that I had "other"  things to do, I was certain that I would have a good few hundred words written. I ought to know myself better. Of course, the site itself has been working so slow that I haven't even managed to upload the novel title yet (I 'm sure it  does have a title) and of course I had to write this blog and chat about writing on other forums first. I have also had to read how other people are getting on with their own NaNoWriMo entries, find out who my buddies are and make supportive comments ...
