NaNo - Nu?

Yes, well. Welcome to the start of National Novel Writing Month, 2010.

The Queen Bee is going to be doing NaNo this year.

I will, but I won't. I'm looking on this as an opportunity to start writing again. Even if it just devolves into weekends of "Story a Day" Challenges, that's fine, too. I want to start writing again and not just snips and bits here and there, that get lost in old notebooks.

Maybe I'll go back to the very beginning, when I did writing exercises every day for 15 minutes. Sometimes that's enough to spark me.

I am suddenly not very keen on writing about my life. It just sounds like one sad story after another, in total, one long whine. No. I don't think so.

Besides, no one can do any better than Jeanette Walls did in The Glass Castle.
