The end is approaching!

Well WriMo's it's that time of year when the sound of keys being frantically punched, and the scribble of pens or pencils on paper is as loud as a tornado...It's the last week of NaNoWriMo!

So write like your fingers are on fire. Punch those keys! Scribble in that notebook until the pages burst into flame!

If you've made it this far, KEEP GOING. You owe it to yourself and that novel of yours. Even if you think it's crap, keep writing anyways! The only way you are ever going to get that idea out of your head is if you write it. After you write it you make it better, but you have to get the ideas down first.

SO WRITE. Write like your life, your existence, your very soul are at stake....because they kind of are.

Whether you write for a hobby or you are like me and write nearly everyday as a way to examine the world around you and explore ideas or topics you didn't even know you thought were there, writing is a wonderful exercise.

Writing is listening to yourself, listening to yourself. It is one of the great tools of introspection.

And it's just gosh darn fun!

So keep going, no matter if you are 5k, 8k or 25k behind in the NaNo counts. Just keep writing, even if you don't hit the 50k by midnight on the 30th. You have tried to reach something that most people would never even dream of. You will have written (hopefully) everyday for a month, and that is quite the accomplishment.

So give yourself a pat on the back, pull up your chair, plug that laptop in and let's get writing!

Happy Typing WriMo's!
