I have decided that when you grow up you're going to be an author. Have you ever tried to write a novel outside of nano?

Haha, I'm glad you've decided that. And no, I've only been having one story idea a year, oddly enough, so I always save them for November. Although lately I've been writing snippets of my next novel just to get a feel for it. I don't think I could ever start it for realsies unless I had a concrete deadline like what Nano gives me.

Just reading your journal entries tells me you're meant to be a writer. Even the way you write this is awesome. But yeah, I agree about the whole Nano deadline thing, it really pushes you to get it done, and if you don't have that when you write the rest of the time it's harder to actually do.
