Each day I wrote every memory I could dredge up on a particular facet of my growing up days on a Tennessee farm. This process unleashed even more memories for me to set to paper (okay, to computer). That was just a year ago. Now I have an agent interested in working with me to get it into print. Of course, this doesn't mean anyone considering nanowrimo has to wait eleven months to give it a try. If a structured exercise like this has a chance of working for you, then get busy and start writing, drawing, composing..... Cheers!

I am well known for being as functional in my drawing as I am in my singing. Not.At.All. I appreciate art but have no talent for it. Thanks, Galen.
