November is International Novel Writing Month.  It's a month-long Internet festival celebrating writing by writing.

In the past years I've spent November laboring on long works of fiction in my free time after work, before work, and while I should have been sleeping.  This year it's time that I go back and revise one of those, and hopefully turn it into a good story.  I may be very sleepy if you see me during November, if you see me at all.

１１月は、小説を書こうの月！（NaNoWriMoと省略される）。一ヶ月間のインタネットで行われた小説の祭りです。どうやって祝いすると聞いたら、もちろん小説を書くことで！

以前の１１月に仕事の後も前も、それで寝たはずの時も小説を書いていた。今年は、以前書いた作品を改稿しもっと面白い作品にしあげるつもりだ。もし１１月に私に会えば、とても眠そうに見えるかもしれないです、もし会えばね。ご理解くださいね

この写真は夜でとった。この橋は毎日見たものだけど、夜ではちょっと違うと思う。この場所のけいしきのようにSpecialな場所で楽しんで行くことが好き。 もしすばらしい場所をしっちゅうやったらおすすんでください。

I took this photo at night.  It's a different look at a familiar site for all of us that drive through Ino.  I really like finding special places to go and enjoy the scenery, like there by the river at night.  If you have a special place nearby that you like to go, please recommend it to me!  From November 1 to November 30 I'm writing a novel for the first time.  I'm using all of my experiences in Kochi for inspiration.  Beautiful Kochi scenery becomes the setting of the story, people I meet here become personalities.  Hopefully it will turn out alright!
