\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve trumpeted National Novel Writing Month a ton on this here blog.\u00a0 I have enjoyed every year I have participated.\u00a0 Not only have they created an environment of encouragement and commiseration for people who may have never ventured into writing otherwise (my Mother), but they do great things to encourage youth to write as well!\u00a0 We all have stories and NaNoWriMo helps us tell them.<\/p>\n

Ok, that was way thoughtful and somber – point is Yay!\u00a0 I don’t have to wait for November to embrace that feeling again.\u00a0 For the first time ever there will be a National Novel Writing Month Spring Writing Marathon on April 13th<\/a>.\u00a0 Your marathon can be editing, writing fresh, continuing a story, anything.\u00a0 Just pledge what you can, ’cause you want to support the awesome stuff NaNoWriMo does, and then hunker down on the 13th and write write write!\u00a0 I did and will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
