RE: NanoWrimo, Hemingway and Overcoming Procrastination
Woo hoo, go @raj808, I know that you can conquer #nanowrimo with the best of them!
I was actually planning to take part this time around, but since I would be simultaneously editing a series of posts into book format, my husband rightfully dissuaded me, and urged me to finish the current book first.
I do have a strong tendency to take on too many projects at once.
And I so agree . . . a number of books I've read in recent years seem to have been written by people who don't appear to have read much, or widely, with the predictable result that their books don't usually hold my interest.
I like to learn something when I read, or at least see something in a new way, and that goes for fiction as well as nonfiction.
So we'll miss your posts and conversation, but we'll be here when you get back, and I wish you all the best in completing your first draft quickly and well.

It's always a payoff on what you have time to do. For me, cause I'm limited by illness I've got to prioritize time even more. What others take 3 hours after work to blog on steem takes me half a day. I'm gonna spend that time writing a novel for the next 30 days 🙂
#gonanowrimo 🤣
Thanks for the encouragement 👍
Good for you. Wishing you all the best, in every way!

P.s. of you like fiction that flips your head and excites the mind I would recommend haruki murikami's most magical trilogy of books... '1Q84'.
If you want to read a modern classic in the magical realism genre there is nothing better. If I ever write a book even half as good as murikami I will consider my work on this earth complete.
1Q84 is pretty out there to be honest. If you want something a little less trippy check out his book 'kafka on the shore'

Funny, I've been reading several of his essays recently. And trippy works for me. ;-)
