I have been writing most of my life but until last year never took on a project like this. I’ve written little articles and stories and kept many journals as I waited patiently for the Novel Fairy to arrive.
I always thought one day she’d just show up and a great novel would pour out of me. Last year I stumbled across the NaNo website and promptly signed up. This is as close to seeing the Novel Fairy as I’ve come and because of the time crunch most of my first novel was written over two weekends.
It didn’t pour out nicely either it was more like cramming 5 oranges into a squeezer a little messy and painful. Naturally I signed up again this year. It’s day 4 and I'm still keeping with it.
Tonight I’m going to bed with a blank journal under my pillow in the hopes the Novel Fairy fills it for me.
