Update: the BLURB

A young woman wakes up in a house she doesn’t recognise, finding herself attached to all kinds of medical monitors. Once she detaches herself, risking painful death, she walks down the stairs to find herself among a bizarre family, that colourfully informs her that she’s been in a car accident, has been in a coma for two months, she most likely has amnesia, but that they, nice as they are, decided to ‘keep’ her and that they’ve named her Susan, after their late poodle.

Hey friends,

I’m doing something very awesome in the month November. It’s in honour of NaNoWriMo, which is National Novel Writing Month. It’s called national, but it’s actually international.

The challenge
Write a 50.000 word novel in 30 days.

So yes, I’ll be writing a novel in the month of November. It’s going to be tough and gruelling, but I simply have to do it. I start on November 1st and will have to write every single day in order to get through this.

Why
I think you might have heard my complaints about not being happy, and about being uninspired. Well, I’m going to defy the ‘you can’t force inspiration’ saying. I am just going to do it.

How
As I said, writing every day. I really wish I could do it on an iPad, but I don’t have one. I’ll gladly accept sponsored items. ;) I’ll be posting updates on my NaNoWriMo progress everyday on this website and via my Twitter account.

Where am I now
I have no idea. I just decided to do this and I have no idea what to write yet. Pretty scary, actually, because I have to start on Monday. Feel free to be inspiring and help me come up with ideas. I need a plot on Monday.

What can you do?
You can sponsor my iPad. ;) And you can tell me to stick at it, every day and especially when I’m about to cave. You can also get other people to support me and you can make plot suggestions.

I've heard about it in the past and would love to try, but finishing a novel in one month is TOUGH. For me to pull it off, I'd have to do all kinds of prework - treatments, notes, plot diagrams and everything else. I'm not sure I could do it.

Good luck! Go the distance!
