Going Dark For November

30Oct07

Between the number of posts I churned out over last few weeks, and the spike in traffic after my recent post¹ on Enterprise Ireland and Auctomatic, I’ve managed to break a lot of the mouse organ’s records² this month. That’s probably going to change over the next few weeks though because I’ll be going dark for November. I won’t be completely silent as I hope to post a few short pieces from time to time and I already have a few posts lined up.

The reason I’ll be going dark is that I’ve decided to take part in this years NaNoWriMo challenge. I’m probably mad because I’ve just looked at my calendar for the month of November and I reckon that between a trip to France in the middle of the month and a visit from my U.S.-based mum (plus a bunch of other stuff) I really only have two and a half weeks to write my 50,000 word novel. This should be fun.

But sod it I’ve been planning this for a year so I’m going to do it. I’ll keep you posted on how I’m getting on.

1 – A somewhat inaccurate post it has to be said.
2 – Not that this would have been hard.
