Nanowrimo

Lauren here. Back with a vengeance. This month, my main focus is on nanowrimo. It stands for national novel writing month. I've been meaning to do this for the past few years. It's where you can write just to write. Just to get the juices flowing enough so when November is over, you have time to edit and proofread. The toughest thing for most people is just to sit down and write without having to worry about adjusting anything. Nanowrimo focuses in quantity-50,000 words.

Sounds tough? Yeah, it is. And for me, someone who is more of a script writer who spent most of their youth writing fanfiction, this is a good exercise for me. Mainly to see if I can describe without giving too much away. Hence why I love scripts. You focus on dialog and characters and the setting is behind them making its own point without needing to be described.

I'm currently on 276 words after Thursday. I signed up then. If you are interested in signing up, Google Nanowrimo bc I can't remember the site off hand. I believe its Nanowrimo.org.

Good luck to everyone!
