NaNoWriMo!
Last year in November I had a vision about a young warrior discovering what it means to be a man. I've been letting the idea grow in my heart over these last 12 months and the other day I decided I would rebuild my laptop (with Linux) to be a word processor for writing this down. I want the laptop to be a stripped-down computer with one purpose: I turn it on and write my novel.
As I was reading up on writing software for Linux, I discovered something I had heard of but completely forgotten about. November is National Novel Writing Month! I saw this on November 1, and I had my laptop ready to go on November 1, so I think that's a sign I should get busy and write this thing.
What better day to start? I'm taking a two-hour train ride to Richmond tonight. I should be able to get a few thousand words in.
