Dear NaNoWriMo,
How are you doing? I haven't seen you for an entire year. You know a lot of people are really scared of you, but I don't know why. In reality, you are not real. . . Let me rephrase that. You are real because people know and acknowledge that you exist, but you are not living nor breathing.
Instead, you are a contest. You convince people that writing a 50,000 word book in a month is possible, and I applaud you for that. It is good that people can realize that the book inside of them is only a few (OK a lot of) keystrokes away. It is not easy to write a book. Nobody would contest that, but it is possible.
Yes, it is draining and hard to have that kind of discipline everyday to write. But in the end it is so worth it. But now, I will brag just a little.
When I write a book, and I mean really write, I will write 5,000 words a day. Do the math. I write a 50,000 word novel in 10 days. Not weeks or months, days. :) I know, I'm cool. (OK, that was really self-righteous, but I'm just in that kind of mood)
I love writing so much that it should be illegal. This is what I want to do with my life, and I look forward to doing just that. So, NaNoWriMo, I could complete your quest in my sleep, and that is probably what will happen. See you in five days.
Bex
