Lackadaisical Lolligagging and Laziness!

I realize that I may not have come through on my promises of more content, and that it's been roughly eight months since last I posted anything, but I am indeed still here, and I'm taking the time to post that I will definitely be more active in the coming month. Why? Well if you've read many of the posts on this blog, you'd already know! But for those of you who may not know what's going on, in less than thirteen days, National Novel Writing Month begins anew, with all the challenge and wonder.

Last year was a great success for me, as well as many others, and as such, I'm going to be again utilizing this blog to lay down some creative techniques and time savers so that your month runs as smoothly as it possibly can while still blazing down the path of noveling. Be you a pantser or a plotter, this blog will (hopefully) give you some good tips and tricks for keeping yourself on track and beyond. This year, I'm going to be doing something a little different as well.

You see, last year, around this time, I started up a challenge for myself for writing ten short stories in the span of the ten days before NaNo began. This year, while I'll be doing the same thing (and the post detailing rules and such will be coming soon), I'm also going to try and run challenges, word wars, and various other fun things to keep you guys both entertained and sufficiently focused on the task at hand during November itself. On top of this, I'll maintain my inspirational posts, so that even in the depths of despair, you may realize that it's not all at an end. So, ending off this short little "I'm still here" post, it's good to be back, and I hope you guys enjoy the ride!
