NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

Hello Wrimos!

I just wanted to point out some awesome press we just discovered we’ve been receiving on npr.org!

To help all of us crank out our 50,000 words, Marc Silver and Melody Joy Kramer at National Public Radio are asking one author each day for any advice that might help us on our journey:

"To help you along, we've asked fiction writers from all genres for the essence of noveling: how they write, how they overcome writer's block and their best written sentence. Each weekday this month, we'll publish another novelist’s thoughts. Check back for novelists as varied as Neal Pollack, Rita Mae Brown and Joyce Carol Oates."

I did, and it is insanely inspiring.

In regards to the amazing woman in the chicken suit you see above. (If you do not know who she is already, you should check out the second NaNoWriMo Daily Q&A.) In short, this is Christee Atwood, and she is writing her NaNoWriMo story in the window of the Baton Rouge Waldenbooks store wearing a full chicken suit.

She will be interviewed this Friday, November 17 at 12:30 PM central time on the Satellite Sisters show, which is available for all to hear at http://www.SatelliteSisters.com.

I am sure it will be an entertaining show where much NaNo-hilarity with ensue, so if you need a break from noveling on Friday . . .

Write on,
