I'm going to try and write a 50,000-word novel completely from scratch in the 30 days of November while also carrying on with my full-time day job. It's all for fun as part of National Novel Writing Month, but I'm also dedicating it to a good cause: anyone who wants to can sponsor me in aid of Redwings Horse Sanctuary.

I'll post updates and more info at:

Towards the end of October 2012 I found out there was this thing called NaNoWriMo where you are supposed to write a novel of 50,000 words of more from scratch in the 30 days of November. There's no rule about the novel necessarily having to be any good!
