Keep reading for a few words to give you hope for the future. And a really good writing tip!

What made you want to join the Mighty Pens this year?

Sooz talked so highly about the Mighty Pens in the past, and after hearing what she went through with childbirth, I was eager to help contribute words and donations.

What was a frustrating part of NaNo/the Mighty Pens this year? What was rewarding?

Frustrating: I still haven’t written an ending; I always get caught up with the middle. Rewarding: connecting with so many other writers!

What’s currently your favorite part of your NaNo project? 

The danger isn’t in the imagining, the vision of what could be, it’s letting yourself believe in the impossible dream. I’ve had a strong enough dose of reality to counteract my ability to hope.

What advice would you give yourself for NaNoWriMo/the Mighty Pens 2021?

Write a small blurb for where you want the scene to go at the bottom of your page so it’s always there to reference as you write.
