The U.S. is at 9.3 million known infections and 234,567 deaths (believe me, I wish I WAS making up that number). And tomorrow is election day in a heated race for the soul of America.
You know what? There's only so much I can do about those things, and I am doing them. So, it's time to focus on National Novel Writing Month.
Now, a lot of professional writers hate this concept because they feel it demeans their profession.
Which frankly, I find ridiculous. NaNo is whatever you make of it. Plus, a lot of our detractors find out how hard it really is to write that first novel. Once you get over the initial hump, it gets a lot easier (for most writers, not all).
For me though, NaNo is the time of year where I give myself permission to experiment. To have fun. To enjoy the process. Then I can carry those feelings over to the rest of my projects through the year.
It helps that NaNo started on the Celtic New Year's Day. So have some fun!
And Happy New Year!
