Alrighty, so partly because we have now entered the season where the "ghost hunters" come out of the woodwork because of the holiday looking for a scare, (so looking for places to investigate becomes a bit trite) and just because I think it is cool, I'm right at the moment obsessing about one of my other passions: writing!

NaNoWriMo is the National Novel Writing Month.  Write at least a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.  It happens every November and the forums there are open (although seriously slow).  October becomes the prep time for the insanity in November.

I did it last year and managed to "win" with a 50,500 word novel. I was aiming for 60,000, but I did make the minimum 50K.  It turns out it would be nothing I would EVER consider for publication, but I did end up with a really cool character that I could definitely plug into a better story already fully fleshed out.

This year, I still have no clue what I'm going to write.  I have the same three concepts I had last year, but last year, concept 4 jumped out of my head about a week before it started.

And heck, with the Ghost Hunters live special on Halloween running 6 hours, might just pull an all nighter to enjoy some GH goodness and end with some exciting first day writing!
