Why I Still Nanowrimo
I needed it this year. I did Nano for 5 years and "won" each time and then stopped a couple of years ago. The first time I wrote it was exactly as Chris Baty suggested - it was the novel I mean to write "one day." So I wrote it. And I wrote for years after that for fun and because ideas came to me and I enjoyed it. I stopped enjoying it at some point and my life started to unravel and so I stopped. But this year I had an idea and wanted to write, so I am doing it. And it does sort of clear out the creative pipes.

i was consistently amazed by your nanoing. you always seemed to have so many ideas and characters and... you know, stuff. bahaa. i did it once, and "won," but at no point did ihave anything approximating a real idea. fiction writing is utterly beyond me; i'm amazed by people who can come up with a whole story in their very own heads. congrats on your progress so far!
im impressed!
