NaNoWriMo!

My favorite part of NaNoWriMo is finding other people crazy enough to do it with me so I can commiserate with them. Come commiserate, guys!

We may be 8 days into November, but it's NOT too late to start trying! Or, if you don't want to do the official challenge, make up your own personal writing challenge, like Mary did.

And if you want to follow Mary Write A Poem A Day Month check it out here. The only catch is you have to be nice because I'm really self-conscious about sharing my poems. Plus, I'm writing one a day so they haven't been perfected or anything, they're just a first draft.

I actually really like all of your poems. Especially Hush, Little Baby.

Thanks I can't wait to read your novel!

You're quite the poet, Mary. I could feel a lot of emotion in your writing. A lot of emotion.

FYI for those following my blog, this weekend I'll be out of town without a computer so I will be writing poems but I won't be posting them until Sunday or Monday

That is NOT OKAY jk have a safe trip

Is it weird if I don't give my protagonist's parents names? They are fairly prominent, but I want them to be impersonal.

Story time! So last night they had this open mic room where people were singing, playing instruments and reading poems and it was being ran by this spoken word poet who was one of our speakers today. So, I read Hush, Little Baby and then today I saw the poet and she told me that she really liked it and it made me all smiley. The end.

Parti I think you can make it work. It's a little strange, but if that's what you're going for then do it.

Mary I loved that poem

So how are people doing? We're between a third and halfway through the month. MaWriAPoADaMo is going splendidly

I'm officially on schedule. I actually got today's quota over an hour before midnight I was behind until yesterday and even the days I'm on time, I barely make it usually. Still, I just hit 50% and I'm feeling good. I'm actually going to get some sleep tonight.

Woohoo! Yesterday I almost forgot to write a poem so I wrote one down right before bed (it's about sleep coincidentally enough). I'm about to upload both yesterday's and today's.
