I’ve participated in NaNoWriMo the last four years (although only won twice) and am excited to try my hand at Script Frenzy this year! It’s in a great month for me, so hopefully I’ll get it completed. Good luck to everyone else who is going to try with me!

I took it today, and thought it went pretty well. I’ll find out the results in about two weeks, though!
I started off the year with two books about writing: Words Fail Me by Patricia T. O’Conner and The Tao of Writing by Ralph L. Wahlstrom. I haven’t picked a third one to start yet, but I have quite the list developing!
Like last year, I started my list on Lists of Bests and will be updating it as needed.
My starting point for this year is to get through all the books I own but haven’t read yet. I cleared many of them off the list in 2007, but still managed to find 21 of them on my shelves still! I also have three books that I have to read for a literature class that made it onto the list.
After that, I have a list of about forty books, authors, and series that I want to read. Some are inspired by other lists I’ve adopted on Lists of Bests, some are recommendations from friends, and some are things that I feel like I should have read at some point but never did.
Happy reading, everyone!!
