Tomorrow begins yet another month of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month: http://www.nanowrimo.org/ ). It is a time for stretching yourself to meet your life goals head on. You say you have no time for writing a novel? Nonsense. Just turn off the TV, become a hermit for a few days of the week, and eat lots of cold cereal, fresh fruit, cheese sandwiches, and noodle soup. Honestly, if you follow the exercise as it is intended to be you can do it in as little as an hour a day. You just have to type and add words without turning back to edit. If you goof, then start writing again as if you had not. Add new words and never delete. All the rest of the months of the year are for polishing. This month we empty our brains.
As an extra challenge for myself I am also going to finish two 8X8 art works in that time.
