I bid courage to all local participants in NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month that began yesterday. Seems there are many of them/you. The Dallas/Fort Worth forum has more than 1,300 members, authors who share the goal of finishing a 50,000-word masterpiece (or longer) in one month’s span. I am not one of them, having successful procrastinated writing my first novel for yet another year/month/day.
