NaNoWriMo

I have decided that it is extremely difficult to have a passion alone.

I've been writing since the third grade. I still remember my teacher, Ms. Sauer, and my best friend, Mariah, encouraging me, writing with me, telling me to put it down on paper. I started with a cute little fantasy story about a half fairy creature. It was awful. But I was obsessed. I wrote...gosh I don't know, 10 different "sequels"?

I've come a long way since then. I'm not good; I have no question about that. But I'm passionate. But trying to harbor that passion when I sit home alone most days is exceedingly difficult. So I'm going to attempt to reach out. I have a friend that writes. I only hope she's even remotely interested in writing together.

And...I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo again. National Novel Writing Month (the month of November). Last year I participated for the first time, but I had an excellent jump on the challenge because I already had a story started. This year, I've got barely 7000 words. And the goal is to hit 50000. I have my work cut out for me.

But dear God, I'm going to try.
