There was a literary week in B'ham recently; I attended a workshop regarding "The Gothic" in fiction. While in the 'powder room' I mentioned nanowrimo to a woman who'd been sitting near me during the workshop, asking if she'd be participating. She looked at me as though I'd asked if she was going to play in a sandpit, or do finger-painting!   Seemed to regard it as beneath contempt.
I realise many of the participants are teenagers writing poor YA fiction, but I'm sure that's not universally the case.
So, NanoWriMo anyone?  |
Don't mind if I do.
I plan to try anyway. I'm no teenager though I have been told I don't look my almost 48 yrs. I agree that talking about it can give someone an incentive to actually try. I have a facebook group if anyone is interested.
Let's do NaNo
