Welcome to Sahi's Greenhouse

On this page you'll find all the little odds and ends that I collected over the years.

NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo is an acronym that stands for National Novel Writing Month. Actually it hasn't been national since the very first year, but is in fact a world-wide novel writing contest. The goal of this contest is to write an entire book (50.000 words in total) in one month. I first heard of this contest a few years after it started, but never got round to it. But many of my online friends were really into it, so after about two years I decided to join in and never stopped writing. So ever since 2003 I pick up my pen in the month of November to try and write a book. Here are the stories I wrote over the years. Mind you they have never been edited, so they are very rough drafts.
