Thumb

National Novel Writing Month starts on Tuesday, and I'm panicking a bit. I don't my outline even really started for the book I've decided to write. And the book I've chosen may be outside my ability. Well, it's NaNoWriMo, which is perfect for experiments and failures. It's odd to write something while knowing it might not be ever be published, self or otherwise.

My years in newspaper oriented me toward workable prose. Stories that might not be excellent but good enough to make a deadline. Journalists learn to not write long, to not be overly poetic, and to not love their words. I learned those lessons well.

NaNoWriMo is the time to thumb my nose at those lessons and see what else is in the world. We'll see how it goes, but my gosh, it's exciting!
