<p>Last year I dusted off my keyboard and joined this grand and mad November writing adventure. Things have never been the same for me since.</p>
<p>I am working on editing right now, but I have put down that pen and picked up the mad dash pen of one writing to make 50,000 words in a month. I was one of those people who kept saying, “I should write about that.” Now I do. Love, love, love this new role.</p>
<p>Anyone else?

<p>Seems to be a great adrenaline rush for November. My D did it in HS, and used it as the topic for college essays. Now a new college grad, she’s at it again! </p>
<p>Given your postings, I’d guess you might have a good deal to write about.</p>
<p>I believe we all have amazing stories. Your daughter knows that!</p>
<p>THey are adding more servers…it is a worldwide experience.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I am recreating the world of 1841 Glasgow, I have redrawn maps based on old guides…a pinch of Shakespeare and magic. Crazy. Leaving the new for later.</p>
<p>^ I always thought that writing about what you know is vastly overrated!</p>
<p>Along those lines, I happened to be doing some research for my job this morning and came across this which I am considering doing (one day late):</p>
<p>[PiBoIdMo</a> Day 1: MaMoIdMo–Magical Moments Idea Month? Writing for Kids (While Raising Them)](<a href=“http://taralazar.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2011/11/01/piboidmo-day-1-mamoidmo-magical-moments-idea-month/]PiBoIdMo”>PiBoIdMo Day 1: MaMoIdMo–Magical Moments Idea Month? | Writing for Kids (While Raising Them))</p>
<p>^^This challenge is for picture books, of which I have the bones of one collecting dust at my desk…</p>
<p>So strange, because I have NEVER heard of this concept yet today in addition to my research, two FB friends mentioned that they are doing Nanowrimo! Learn something new everyday…</p>
<p>My D does it every year but it seems that November is so very busy that she barely gets done!</p>
<p>"^ I always thought that writing about what you know is vastly overrated!" Mathmom, my D said as much in an admission essay, and I always wondered if she suffered some rejections from that line. </p>
<p>Researching history to write about sounds like a great deal of fun, if enthused about the time period.</p>
<p>Had no clue what the title meant 'til I looked it up. National novel writing month. Obviously I am not a novel writer. Good luck to those of you who are!</p>
