November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). All around the world, people commit to write a 50,000-word novel between 1/11 and the close of business on 30/11. This year, 2010, I'll be giving it a go...

It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I'll never run a marathon or swim a river for charity. But this is a challenge I think I might be able to meet and, if you support my scribbling, I hope we can raise some money for research into Lupus and other autoimmunity diseases in the process. 

Here is my NaNoWriMo page where you can check up on my word count progress (and read about my angst-y writer's block) during November:
