A Novel in a Month!? Lunacy!

Party peoples in the place to be,

This not only goes out to the very nonexclusive group of people that yesterday I invited to form the tribe known as 'Jim's Novel Cheerleaders.' I suppose it is going out to any individual who has access to Blogger through the World Wide Web. Which I've heard is a large and growing number of folks. So, welcome.

Over the next month, I am asking you to bolster my confidence, to tease me mercilessly when I do not meet a word count, and to seriously question my direction in life. I have started writing my novel today and will be keeping this blog as a sort of progress tool. It will include a daily word count, sections of the book that could pass as readable English, and pictures of the arduous task that is novel writing. Feel free to leave comments (insidiously mean comments will result in dismissal from the realm of Jim Friend Land. Don't make me do that).

This here's the introduction post. I hope you enjoyed it. Today's progress post will follow shortly.
