NaNoWriMo

I'm going to try NaNoWriMo this year.


I don't have a title (right now it's "Untitled Superhero Novel").  I have a very rough premise - a middle aged geek gets super powers from aliens, now he has to figure out what to do with them.  I'm going to try just starting from the beginning and see where it leads.  All the while trying to write ~1700 words a day.

I'm going to try to put what I write up on this site as I go.  It will be ugly but I hope some of you have fun.  If nothing else, you should feel better about your writing after perusing some of this.

My NaNoWriMo user name is "mainframe" so feel free to check my progress at http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/mainframe

I just signed up today, Oct 31, so expect things to look rough.

Feel free to take a look at the work in progress at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5246143/Reluctant_Hero-Beginnings.pdf .
