So, after a lot of thinking about doing it (like, I don't know, YEARS?), I started writing a novel today.

I'm absolutely terrified of how this will go, but I've written 3766 words, so I guess that's a start.

(I realize I'm 2 weeks late to do this for NaNoWriMo unless I actually keep up this pace on the word count, but everyone talking about it made me finally sit down and start.)

@SuzanEraslan good luck! One piece of advice that really helped me write my first was this.

If you're stuck on a part in your story, skip it. Leave a note but move on to a part you are more excited to write. That way you don't lose momentum.

Again, good luck!
