NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo - or, National Novel Writing Month is described as "A fun, seat of your pants approach to creative writing."

I've tried this technique a few times but never registered for Nano. Thought I'd give it a go this year as I'm just about to start writing what I hope is an adult thriller.
