Totally Pantsing It
Tippy the 3 legged cat is the Dayton region's mascot I used to be a big fanfiction reader. In October 2010, in the fanfiction community I frequented, I saw several writers mention how excited they were for the upcoming NaNoWriMo. I was curious. What was this NaNoWriMo thing? I looked into it and found myself tumbling down the rabbit hole. I had always been a “hobby writer” - I was not seeking publication or even recognition for my work. I just liked writing as a fun activity in my spare time. But NaNo seemed like a great way to be a little more ambitious about it. Join a community. Increase my writing output. I participated in - and won - NaNoWriMo that year. And the next year, and the next. I participated all the way until 2015, when (with a toddler and a newborn completely absorbing all my attention) I finally took a break. My hope was to be back in 2016 with a renewed energy and readiness to write. So here I am! No plot, but no problem. ;) Totally pantsing it. NaN...
