NaNoWriMo

So the NaNoWriMo festival (?) is now well under way. The National Novel Writing Month is an event organised via the Interweb for those (presumably primarily Americans) who need motivation for writing a book. There really isn't anything to gain from it except that you get that idea you've always wanted to put down on paper finally off and running, but still, that should be enough.

Yet again the exams have derailed any plans I had for participating, but for those of you who've always wanted some motivation to write a book and have the time to do so here's a good excuse.
