2 Days to NaNoWriMo

I'm excited to begin.

Last night I spent 45 minutes brainstorming ideas for things or people that might be in the novel. No list of character questions, no plot formula, just writing down ideas as they popped into my head. It felt great.

And I'm continuing to re-read Ann Lamott's Bird by Bird, which is very encouraging to those of us going in without a clear picture of exactly what our books will become.

As a friend said, this is supposed to be fun, right?
