Starting at midnight November 1st, I will once again be partaking in this crazy writing adventure known as NaNoWriMo. For the next month, I'll be trying to once again write 50,000 words in 30 days. It's completely insane and exhilarating and tiring but it's crazy fun! Why do me and all the other crazy writers in the world attempt this? Why put ourselves through the sleepless nights and tired days? I don't know why they do it but I know why I do it.
What better way to keep your writing skills up to date than to write nonstop, at least when you're not sleeping of course or eating dinner with your family which is about the only time they see me during the crazy month of November. For me, I get a feeling of accomplishment in writing something without checking to see if the grammar is correct or the spelling is correct but just getting my crazy thoughts down on paper into some form of novel. When all you're worried about is writing the story then you have more of a story to read. I think I've done some of my best writing by taking part in NaNoWriMo. Of course the novel won't be fully finished by one month but it will be almost finished and after that well who knows. It could be complete crap or it could be a hidden gem. That's the best part. Not everything written is great but there are some stories written during this speed writing that are fabulous. I guess I'll know at 11:59pm November 30th.
Happy Writing!!!
April
