I just discovered this insane thing called NaNoWriMo, standing for National Novel Writing Month.  For the past five years, thousands of people from around the world have started and finished 50,000 word novels within the month of November.  I was shocked and impressed, and have decided to participate myself.  Is anyone else?  If so, this thread should be used for support and discussion of our novels and progress through the month of insanity.  It would be fun to have a little Leaky Lounge group involved in the madness!

If you're interested, the website is here.  Read through the info; it's hilarious!
