As per usual for me lately, I don&#8217;t even have a wisp of a dream of a hope of participating&#8211;but that doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t LOVE <a href=\"https:\/\/nanowrimo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">NaNoWriMo<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been a participant (and a completer) a handful of times in the past, and I&#8217;m here to encourage you to GO FOR IT if you can. You never know what greatness might occur; what jewels in the rough; what bezoars in the poo, or whichever metaphor you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? Well, two of my three <b>PUBLISHED <\/b>novels started during NaNoWriMo. I wouldn&#8217;t necessarily describe myself as either a panster or a plotter, but the evidence seems to tip me into the former category, doesn&#8217;t it? When you let the words flow, sometimes that&#8217;s what you need to find your voice and loosen your imagination. <\/p>\n<p>So. No excuses (unless you&#8217;re like me and have enough work this month for at least two months&#8217; worth of stress)&#8211;grab your computer and get going! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, it&#8217;s November, and that means it&#8217;s National Novel Writing Month!
