Writing

I always wanted to write a book...to put to words the story that has swirled round in my head for what seems like forever. I've never done it, never even tried to do it, until now. A friend convinced me to sign up for National Novel Writing Month. Yes, I am aware that it is a rather large leap to go from not writing ever to writing a novel. However, it's also occurred to me that therein lies the adventure of it. 50,000 words in 30 days, the opportunity to finally get to paper this story I've imagined over and over again. Will I succeed? Not sure yet, currently I am on my 3rd day and have roughly 3,000 words completed. I tell myself that's a pretty good start, even if the little graph on the NaNoWriMo page says I'm already behind. Even if I don't complete the target goal, I think of it as a pretty good accomplishment, in and of itself, that I even got as far as 3,000.
