  • i am utterly inspired. i had to look at the NaNoWriMo site as soon as i started reading your article. i've signed on and will be joining you in the adventure. total insanity when i think about my schedule for the fall, but the feeling of i have to do this was so strong, well, i just have to do this...btw, i highly reccomend the morning pages, they have been my daily ritual since dec 2000. i need them more than i ever would a coffee in the morning now. happy writing!
