Day One of The Challenge

So today, on Facebook of all places, my wife decided to challenge me to write a novel in 30 days. I'm at work, or else she'd be pushing her laptop in my face and shouting "Do this!". So here I am, creating this blog so that not only I, but my friends as well, can keep up to date on my progress. I will share some excerpts, probably a sample chapter or two when I actually get writing, but as of now I'll keep you in the dark for the protection of my story.

For this post, however, I will educate you on what the hell my wife was thinking when she challenged me to write a novel in 30 days. Well, it wasn't her idea. She found this website, and decided, because I have abandoned several stories and hundreds of other concepts I don't even think made it to the "let's tell my wife about it" phase, that I should accept this challenge. Want in on the game?

That's a safe link that takes you directly to National Novel Writing Month Challenge or whatever-- anyway, it'll explain everything there. So I'm going to go look at some notes I have compiled and decide just which story I'm to do for the next 30 days.

Wish me luck people.
