Second, November is coming up. A few of my friends are
doing NaNo (which is short for NaNoWriMo, itself short for National Novel
Writers’ Month). That’s when a
surprising number of folks in many countries try to write a novel or at least 50,000
words of one in a month. (It went international very quickly, despite the name.)
If you’re one, I salute and encourage you. I watch
somewhat wistfully. It does look like fun. Unfortunately, cramming 50,000 words
of writing with no editing into a single month doesn’t go well with way I’ve been
learning how write for slightly over three decades now. {Smile}
It does look like fun, but you want me to change how I
approach this NOW?!? {SMILE}
