NaNoWriMo

Hahaha.  Hahaha.  Yeah.

For those of you unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month (Novemeber).  The goal is for young writers to put their brains into high gear and to attempt to write a 50,000 word novel.

I've participated in it in years past and have thus far failed to ever meet the goal.  30,000 was the closest I ever came.  This year is not looking any more promising.

But that is alright!  Because the important thing is steady progress.  So I didn't write 1,600+ words yesterday.  I only wrote... *checks*.... 1,200.  That's okay!  That's still forward motion.  It's something other than beating my head against a wall in an attempt to rid myself of the dreaded writer's block.

And I'll take it!

(For first time writers, NaNoWriMo is really a great kick in the butt to get you going.  I highly recommend it!)
