Why Stories Matter
"NaNoWriMo is really just the concrete version of the idea that it’s
okay, it’s great, it’s important to make your creative self a priority;
that it’s okay, it’s great, it’s important to believe that you have
something to say that people want to hear.
...Because when you start believing in your stories, you start believing in yourself. And to paraphrase the great Mal Reynolds, once we’ve done the impossible, it makes us mighty. Practice believing impossible things. Your story matters. Let it make you mighty."

Tara--I get up between 4:45 and 5:30. But I scheduled this one last night in case I slept in (I had a feeling I'd be really tired if Melina didn't sleep well). True fact: I said to Tim last night, "For NaNoWriMo, I'm not sure if I should just get up and 4 a.m. each morning to write or just stay up later instead." He looked at me like I was crazy.
