Chronicling my embarkation into my own personal world of writing. I do not have a destination in mind. My only hope is to make some sense of this compelling desire to create with words.

Holy crap. I am signed up. No turning back now...

Dear Writing Self:

In case you weren’t paying attention, this is to inform you that I am officially signed up for NaNoWriMo.

That’s why you’re feeling that sudden surge of anxiety.

50,000 words in a month. No editing. Just 1,667 words per day output for 30 days. Eegads.

I haven’t written that much toward a novel in a year. I am running the Chicago Marathon this Sunday. Four weeks until a entirely different kind of marathon begins.

Yours Truly,
The Former Non-Writer
