Saying Welcome to NaNoWriMo


I'm been eyeing for this month to come by since last year. It's the NaNoWriMo time of the year again!
So,
Welcome, November;
WELcome, NaNoWriMo,
WELCOME, please, creative juices, i hope!

Actually the first time i found out about this was, if i was not mistaken, about 2 years ago. I was just browsing for some tips on writing, when i came across some article about this event. I'm not sure but i think that it was way pass November that time. Being the lazy being that i am, of course, that was taken as an excuse to NOT to try my hand at it, and the brain conveniently decided to bury that information somewhere in the tiny brain, without any GPS.

Anyhow, last year, by November, i was pretty busy when the month started. It was the clean up month at work for me, as i was serving my one month's notice, and was trying my best to leave as little shit as possible for the replacement guy. After all, i am but trying to be good, in this world.

I was finding all sorts of excuses to NOT to write, i guess, as after that period, i took about a week's break before beginning my now-utterly short stint in a new company.
I did the holiday break thing, i did the cleaning up room thing, i did the banking thing, i did the getting sick thing, i did the gathering thing, but not this. Like i said, i think the mentality at that time was to avoid starting it since i had only one free week to spare in November.

So, last November had breezed away, and new November has just greeted me this morning, albeit slightly wet.
This time, i shall not skip and let the brain work into overdrive to find excuses.
I want to try to do this, to write, on this NaNoWriMo. It doesn't have to be as long as the adviced length in NaNoWriMo category, as i think that it would be difficult for me to get good creative juices and language capability to work hand in hand this time around.


I just want to have a start.
If i could start, i think i could open THE door in me, which has been closed for too long.
So, I hope. Wish me luck, jsb and all.
