About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

A Bit of NaNo Fun...
No offense, but I think, in WdC, we are all anal-retentive. On the other hand, I think we rock. 
While we worry about good ideas, viewpoints, story sequence, character drawing and the like, the other writers are just filling up the 50,000. I came to this conclusion after reading some of the NaNoisms, a few from earlier years, others from 2009:
" As this thought came to him, he was violently attacked by an idea."
"Even though they were the only two people in the world who could probably understand each other as nearly to completely"
"I was quite happy with my happy."
"“I know,” Benjamin said as if Allen was stating an obvious fact, which he was."
"Finally recovering from his initial, stun the counselor stepped up to the man."
See what I mean? Now you can tell your inner critic to shut up. 
After all this, my own Nanoisms aside, my word count at the moment is 7874. Maybe I'll finish the novel by the end of the month.
This time, as a NaNo newbie, I put me in a difficult place by choosing to write on something that needed some research and twisted characters.
I know now that I am going to enter NaNo again, but next time, I'll start without an idea and just wing it with all the Nanoisms I can muster. That will be more fun.  |
