Every weekend of October NaNoWriMo prep month, on Saturdays and Sundays, you get three short ideas of things to possibly write about when November 1st comes: a quotation, a picture, and a roll of the Story Cubes. By the time the big day is here and it’s time to write the first of those 50,000 words, you should be stocked up on potential!
Writing, when properly managed (as you may be sure I think mine is) is but a different name for conversation. As no one, who knows what he is about in good company, would venture to talk all;—so no author, who understands the just boundaries of decorum and good-breeding, would presume to think all: The truest respect which you can pay to the reader’s understanding, is to halve this matter amicably, and leave him something to imagine … For my own part, I am eternally paying him compliments of this kind and do all that lies in my power to keep his imagination as busy as my own.
—Laurence Sterne, Tristram Shandy
What words are there to even add to this? Fifty thousand of them, I hope. Have fun!
I'd love to hear from you!
