“There’s a romantic, cinematic version of New York City and Paris that I have concretized in my mind. So walking the streets of New York, it’s like I’m in the Godfather, and in Paris I feel as though I’m Jean-Paul Belmondo in Breathless. I eat that stuff up.” (InStyle 2010)
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from running NaNoWriMo, it’s this: Whatever you think you are, you are more than that. You possess a fearsome array of skills and abilities, and the most satisfying of these may be completely unknown to you know. Your curiosity is a dependable guide; follow it. Put yourself in unfamiliar places. Kindle passions. Savor the raw joy of making things, and then remake the best of those things until they take someone’s breath away.

“Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!”
Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and that clear voice was like the ring of steel. “But no living man am I!”— The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien
NaNoWriMo Challenge- Day 1
Day 1 - Have you participated in NaNoWriMo before? If so, which years and what end result? If not (or even if so, for that matter), what’s your connection to writing? Why do you want to participate this year?
I’ve known about NaNoWriMo since high school (for about 7 years?), and I’ve had friends participate, but I have not for whatever reason. This year, depite going back to college full-time and writing on the school paper, I am determined to give it a go! I’ve had a particular novel idea in my head since 2004, and have tried writing it several times. I’m finally at the right age and in the right state of mind to try writing it seriously!
