As you may or may not know, November is officially National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. The idea behind NaNoWriMo is to finish a 50,000 word novel in 30 days—just writing for fun, quantity, not necessarily quality. The cool thing is though, that once you just start writing and stop second guessing every other phrase, the stuff that comes out can be great! Of course, it can be utter rubbish too, but that’s part of the fun.
Anyway, this is my third year attempting NaNoWriMo, and the first year I have a computer to attempt it on. Hopefully, I’ll be able to cross the finish line with a few hundred words to spare, now that I don’t have to try it all longhand. Anyway, you can find more information, if you’re interested, at http://www.nanowrimo.org/. Look me up if you join—I’m Elyn W. Marsh if you search under authors.
So yesterday, my sister came to my room and asked if I had any pictures she might use as inspirational material for her story (she’s doing NaNo as well). I have about 300 landscape photos in my computer from a clip art program, so we looked through it for a while and found her a few things to use. In the process, I also found a few photos that I thought worked well for NaNo, and I decided to post them here for you to enjoy as well.
However, a disclaimer before you view them: To my fellow NaNo-ers, I am not responsible for any time lost while you read my blog. If you fall behind in your word count as a result of my post, that’s your fault. LOL
Anywho, here they are. Enjoy!

Daddy’s busy, honey—yes, it’s “that NaNo thing”…
And it’s only day six…
A common NaNo facial expression:
4,345…4,346…4,347… 
Hey—I’m homeschooled
Have you started your NaNo yet?
