NaNoWriMo

Greetings!
Just a short one today sorry...

For those of you who don't know NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and the aim is for both amateur and professional authors to write a novel in a month (fairly self explanatory right?) It's a legit thing with a website and sponsors and an organisation which works to provide everything they possibly can to make your writing process easy. Each region has a representative who organises writing meet ups etc. and provides extra motivation. Basically it's the best possible month long writing event!
Anyway this is probably my fifth year now of wanting to participate (but every year previous has been too busy with school exams) and I'm finally doing it!
Although when I say finally doing it I haven't even started yet and I am five days in! It's been a struggle finding a premise I want to run with. All previous writing attempts start great but fizzle out a couple thousand words in. The longest book I've ever written was about 40,000 words if I remember correctly, but not even halfway done.
I'll keep you updated (i.e. let you know if I even start! which I hopefully will!) but I just thought this post might inspire some of you who need that extra nudge to start your bestseller!
Is anyone already participating or has previously participated? Let me know in the comments!
