Here is a quick blog post on the results of my participation at NaNoWriMo that I had joined some time back and had started writing a novel at the beginning of November.

About 8 hours ago, I was able to finish my novel, reaching a word count of 50153 words. The deadline must have been crossed several minutes before and it was a close call for me.

Though I had done a good start, around the middle of the month, I was not able to write for more than a week. I was faced with a challenge of writing about 25 thousand words in the last four days. After sleepless nights and frustrated hours in front of my computer, I was able to make it.

The novel is in a state of draft now, that one of my cousin has offered to proof read. I will be polishing it to a finer state.

I am not sure if I will publish it or not - I am leaving the idea open.

In my last post, I talked about what it takes to blog, and the different types of blogs. That led me into doing a bit of mining the web and I went through a couple of articles, that made me to look at Blog as a online magazine.

I will try to go over few things that would demand a discussion when the two - blogs and magazines - are put in one article :

• Blogs and traditional publishing
• Magazines venturing into online space
• Blog as online magazine

A long time back I did write on writer’s block. I had even ventured out on writing a novella. But to be honest, that writer’s block remained to date. I could make all sorts of excuses to not to write the novel that I had so much passion to write.

But I think, I have stumbled upon something that I hope can remove this writer’s block - NaNoWriMo. It is a event that happens every year in the month of November. It stands for National Novel Writing Month.

This post is a direct result of some discussions I had with Thilak over at TechBuzz. There was an incident of plagiarism by a person, and Thilak could, after some effort get a public apology. And later, we had some discussion over at another thread of his, where a harmless looking picture of Bart Simpson was used.
