NaNo?

[mac_stone]

I've been talked into NaNo-ing, by a friend who wants to give herself "permission to write crap, again" since she's feeling like she got a ways away from being able to just plough forward. (Like a lot of other writers, she works full-time as a freelancer, especially publishing kids, family, educational, and humor pieces.)

I'll confess I'm a bit seduced by the slogan "thirty days and nights of literary abandon" -- because, well, who wouldn't be?

I am nervous.

I support it! This year I'm doing an alternative version without the same word-count goal, but one year I wrote two childrens' novels, one year I wrote the last volume of a fantasy epic, and another the bulk of a novel I'd been dithering on.

It's a good way to force yourself past mental blocks, and practice the discipline, I guess, and you can always decide, "At the end of the month, NO MORE WRITING EVER".
