Well, as always, I'm struggling to define the exact story I'm trying to tell. What's the main point of my story? Why does anyone care? Who am I writing for? What's going to happen in the story and how will I create an actual ending? These exercises are incredibly helpful to me as I attempt to answer all of these questions. Even assignments that I've stalled on in past preps are finding me inspired and helping me to create that novel that I've wanted to write for years. So, THANK YOU to everyone involved in making the prep work, from the creators to my fellow participants: you're all amazing!!! This is going to be the best NaNoWriMo ever!!!!
