The Power Of NaNoWriMo
I've never been this determined, or committed, before. Participating in NaNoWriMo has begun to make me in to an actual writer. That thing we all, or the majority of us, say - Wishing To Write A Book One Day, is actually happening. Right now. It is not just an idea or thought anymore. It's reality. And it's exciting and beautiful and terrifying. So far, NaNoWriMo has showed me how thin and precious that line between sitting down and writing and not sitting down and writing really is. I realise how scary a blank page can actually be, and how that moment before the first sentence arrives always comes with a hint of panic. A moment so close to giving it all up. I'm 16,653 words in as of today. I have 33,347 words to go. And 26 days remaining. Filling in my word count on the NaNoWriMo page, writing this blog and connecting with other NaNo's here on Tumblr and also Twitter has motivated me and inspired me to actually get to the finish line. Thank you. NR
