I have just signed up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which begins in a matter of hours. This means that I will be writing a novel during the month of November with the goal of having 50,000 words written by midnight on November 30th. I debated committing to this for a little [...]

Joystiq is reporting that Barnes and Noble will be improving their game selection slightly (not too hard) for the month of November in conjunction with national games week.
