Much like how some people in the WTC turned to birds and later to pancakes when they hit the ground on September 11 . <| sep |> I was introduced to Nanawrimo through a drunken conversation , maybe that made it seem like a better idea than it actually was . While drunk me may have rationalized that I should do it to . get closer to the person who told me about it , if you catch my drift , I have always had an active imagination , so it ' s nice to put my ideas on paper instead of letting them fester in my head . I wrote for fun a lot as a kid and took a Creative Writing class in high school , so it ' s nice to return to writing as a form of creative expression . I have a snowball ' s chance in hell of actually making 50 k slightly over 15 k as of now , but I ' d say there ' s a good chance I finish the story over the months to come just because writing is enjoyable .
