Exercise #778: Craft
Posted  10/5/18

It’s that time of the year again! Lots of  writers everywhere are preparing for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which happens in November. (Never heard of it? Check out http://nanowrimo.org/.)

I didn’t manage to complete my 50,000 words last year and I don’t know yet if I’ll try for this year or not, but it is time to start those thoughts.

Will you participate? Have you got a novel dying to get out? Do you detest the thought of even attempting to write a novel?

For today’s exercise, share your thoughts about NaNoWriMo (for or against), or your thoughts about novels in general.

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?

Word limit: 1200
