I’m not a fan of how the message board is laid out. I finally found myself an active cabin, but it’s difficult to even carry on conversations with each of us having our own little boxes.

It’s definitely a much more relaxed form of NaNo, if NaNo can ever be considered relaxing. lol

I thought you were talking about REAL cabins, there… I thought you’d discovered a NNWM summer camp, and envisioned you roasting marshmallows while discussing plot projection and word counts.

I just made a date with a girlfriend who likes to write. I told her to come over next Friday and we’ll have dinner and do some writing together. She’s never shared her writing with anyone much, but has a passion for doing it and wants to publish a novel. But she’s in a procrastinator stall right now. I’m trying to get her unhitched from the stall and out riding the pasture!

She’s never written with a group before (if you can even call little ol’ me a “group”) so she’s not sure it will work. I told her at least she’ll get dinner out of the evening, so she should give it a try. Who knows? Maybe it will be fun. Even if we just play cards and ignore writing it will still be fun, so that’s worth it.

I told her to show solidarity I would try to translate my two favorite dreams into short stories. I told her I couldn’t, so now she feels invested in proving me wrong.
