NaNoWriMo Day 1

Nov 01, 2010 20:55

I had a moment of What?-Am-I-CRAZY-Trying-NaNoWriMo-Again this morning. In fact, if I'd heard about PiBoIdMo just a few hours earlier than I did, I may have abandoned the whole NaNoWriMo idea altogether and signed up for PiBoIdMo instead. Even though everyone says picture books are a tough sell right now ( Read more... )

I'm glad you decided to join PiBoIdMo! Seems like NaNo will be good for you this year, too. I always admired Natalie Goldberg's writings--how we must write every day and just keep writing, tune out that internal (and infernal!) editor. Don't stop. NaNo was created in that spirit, and you felt it jive when that line appeared like magic. I encourage you to keep going!

Wait...I didn't say I WAS joining PiBoIdMo. I said I considered joining that instead of NaNoWriMo. But then the writing happened and I decided I CAN do NaNoWriMo after all.

But I did actually come up with a picture book idea yesterday. Hmm...maybe I SHOULD consider doing both NaNoWriMo AND PiBoIdMo? Or just do IdMo...and see how many story ideas (picture book, chapter book or novel) I can generate in the month of November? One a day, right?
