I went to the Fairbanks Nanowrimo meetup today, which was fun and inspiring. I’d emailed to ask if I could come, and explained that this sort of thing was my day job, and I got a lot of questions and had a chance to talk to people about being a full-time writer, so that was cool. And I went away feeling like I should do some writing! Yay! Plus, I’ve gotten 1682 words done today, making today the first actual day I’ve reached NNWM writing goals. Yay again! :) I’m…
