Hello again!
I've been absent for a while, as you might have noticed. You can blame it on the college. This semester has been a rough one so far and homework seems to be consuming all of my time lately. Even my non-internet people haven't seen me around. Proof of that was found yesterday when the following occurred:
I walked into my friend's house, intent on finding my lost sibling, only to notice that they had a new couch. It was a nice, L shaped piece of furniture and it was neatly fitted into their parlor. As a naturally curious person, I had to open my mouth, but I shouldn't have said a word. "When did you get the new couch?" I asked. My friend's mom smiled. "We got it in July," she replied. Cue realization that I had only stepped into their kitchen since before July and some embarrassment.
When I was little, I went over to their house every day. So, if you think my absence from here is terrible, just remember that someone else hasn't seen me in a longer period of time despite living two blocks away.
But let us move on to the focus of this post, shall we?
This is actually my way of sneakily informing you that I might not be around much until college is out for this semester.
However, before I get lost in writing papers and studying, I would like to introduce you to a wonderful thing occurring in the month of November.
Anyone looking for a challenge or some writing motivation? How many of you have heard of National Novel Writing Month?
November is National Novel Writing Month, more commonly known as "NaNoWriMo" or simply "NaNo". Over a period of thirty days participants in NaNoWriMo race to write a novel or, at least, 50,000 words of one. It won't be polished or brilliant. It may not even be good, but that's part of the fun.
For all of you writers reading this, I encourage you to follow the link and join up for some extra motivation to get some writing done. And for all of my other readers, if you've ever wanted to attempt writing a novel or if this just sounds fun, why don't you join us? We'd love to have you.
Thanks for reading and good luck to those of you who decide to give it a go!
