Guts

Here we go Nanowrimo! Thanks to one of the 'chics at academichic, I found you and have taken on the challenge to write a novel.

My word count is low at this point. I have some catching up to do already but I have faith that I'll finish, even though I'm studying for a mid-term, working and trying to finish my thesis. I like the quote on a cat of impossible color's blog - no empty pages for me. I give myself permission to write total shit and let the world see it and not be ashamed! Ha. There. I also give myself permission to find some beauty in what I write as well. Either way, good will come of it I'm sure. I created this blog because damn everyone seems to have one so now I do as well. The first step was posting my first paragraph on acoic's blog.

I think it's important to remain somewhat distant from what one is writing. It can't be so precious to one's heart or it will be impossible to put it out there an invite critiques. A little distance can make us better writers!
