The One Day Syndrome- A disorder that occurs often in the common people. The idea that they will do something "one day" and what they want to do never is quite started.
This is a disorder that has affected me for most of my life, especially concerning a particular action. Writing. I've always wanted to write, and sometimes I even have, but for the most part I consider writing something that I will do 'one day'. Today I spent some time thinking about what would happen if that day never came. It would be such a massive disappointment for myself that I have been spurred into action!
This blog is here to announce to my family members and friends that I will be taking part in NaNoWriMo! Or rather, National Novel Writing Month! The goal of this 'contest' of sorts is to write a complete novel between November 1st and November 30th, or at least 50,000 words. Through this blog I will keep everyone up on my progress, writing a blog everyday in order to do so.
After the month of writing is over, revision will begin, and hopefully a month or two after that I will have something that resembles a final draft that I can start handing around for you guys to read and tell me what you think, unless of course you'd prefer not to get one.
If any one of you also wishes to participate, I highly reccomend it! It is a month of literary abandon, and I hear tell that it quite a few entertaining things can happen herein. Here is a link to the main website where you can sign up!

And now it is time to sign off. Expect a post tomorrow, vaguely talking about how I am preparing to tackle this project and how you guys can help me, if want to. See you all later!
Writing my Future,
Marc Eshleman
