That Time of the Year Again!
The signs are all over LJ. Friendslist, friendsfriends, communities. Virtually everywhere people are spreading the news that it's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
nanowrimo again.That big one month writing orgy, set in November, where the brave and the ambitious come together, hopefully in high spirits, and solemnly pledge to grant their creative demons free reign. Their greater goal and motivation for doing so one is a high one, indeed. 50.000 words, i.e. a small shiny novel written over the course of just one single month. My calculator says that's about 1666 words per day. Phew...scary...
My personal best lies somewhere between 500 and 700. When I do nothing but write the whole day.
That's why I found the concept ofwrisomifu so appealing. To each movement its counter movement *g*. A group for literary underachievers. Ten minutes of writing per day, regardless the actual wordcount or outcome. Sounds very nice and perfectly safe. Too bad the group never developed a large following. Too bad there doesn't seem to a Wrisomifu 2005.
The universe knows my LJ could use some more entries...
