Exercise #730: Craft
Posted  10/6/17

Many writers are gearing up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which happens in November. (Never heard of it? Check out http://nanowrimo.org/.)

I will be doing it again this year (which remind me; I need to go register!) even though novel-length works aren’t in my wheelhouse. (What is a wheelhouse, anyhow?)

NaNoWriMo is a lot like fruitcake; you either love it or hate it. Which is your emotion? Share with us your previous NaNo journeys or give us an essay on why to participate (or not participate!).

Critiquers, along with the usual technical critique, you might answer these questions:
     * Was this piece helpful to you as a writer?
     * Why or why not?
