I started this blog with the intention of using it to get back into the groove of writing daily. I haven't exactly done that, but it has gotten me thinking about writing daily, which is more often than I have for quite a few years now. I have things to say, things that maybe no one will want to read, but things that I have to say anyway.
I was planning on just posting random blog entries with my thoughts on various things: being raised Mormon, moving to an extremely liberal city after spending the first twenty-five years of my life in the Midwest, the weird stigma against a grown woman choosing to use pads instead of tampons, etc, etc. What I've realized, though, is that it's possible for me to string all of the disparate things into a (hopefully) cohesive story, hence the NaNo sign up.
Also, my roommate convinced me to sign up after one of her friends convinced her to sign up, so there's that.
I've always written best under pressure, so I'm sure thing is going to end up being a good thing. I guess we'll see. I still have a few weeks before I realize that my 'write by the seat of my pants' approach to things is probably not the best way to go into a 50k word challenge.
Oh well. What's life without a ridiculous amount of self-inflicted stress?
