Novel idea

I've got this idea for a short novel that's been rollin' around in my head for a couple of years and I think it's getting to the time when I need to get going on it. And I'm thinking that it might be a good plan to take part in this year's NaNoWrirMo event to get me moving with a purpose.(if you don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it's National Novel Writing Month - take a look at the web site) And I am also considering using this blog to put the material 'out there' for feedback as I'm working on it. It's intimidating 'cause you don't have time to craft the work carefully and tweak/refine numerous revisions - you just have to write and move on asafp. So what I'll post here will be rough indeed!
