National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)

OK, so I've signed up for the annual event - National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The aim is to write a draft of a novel in 30 days - 50,000 words before the end of November. With a two week baby in the house, this may be madness, but if you never try ...

I have an concept for a novel that I have been working on for some time, based on a relative who spent most of the second world war in a POW camp. From training in Scotland to capture and finally walking home, his experiences tell another side of the war that is not often heard. Wish me luck in finding 50,000 words on this over the next 30 days.
