i agree to an extent, though I always found him a little holier than thou during his Glee days. like he was too good to be involved, even though it launched his career.
oh, that buddy read sounds great! I've read the other Brontës but I haven't read anything by Anne. I need to!
HBP took a little bit for me to love bc I remember being disappointed, but DH blew me away. hopefully you'll like the books more with the time that's passed!
I still can't believe he's this bestselling author! I remember seeing these books in stores and being told that it's the guy from Glee writing them and I was so surprised.
If you've never written a novel before, it's a great way to start. There is a hugely supportive community, with great resources on how to plan, how to structure, how to edit, how to keep going, etc.
Also, and this is just my opinion, NaNo is often about just finishing the damn thing, as much as it is writing a novel. Some days, you'll be looking at what you have written, or what you have planned for the story and you'll want to overhaul it. But you don't have time - you just have to keep going and get the words down on the page. So if you're nervous, or a perfectionist, or maybe just an overthinker, it kinda gets you over those hesitations. It also teaches you about discipline - if you're going to be a writer, then write. Strap yourself to the keyboard/notepad and write until you've done enough for today. I remember Stephen King talking about setting himself word challenges and not getting up from the typewriter until he had finished them. While that style doesn't work for everyone, I think it's good to try and be
