Thank you November

I've been doing pretty well this year. Writing my novel is going very well. Tonight I hit a fictional dry spell and am writing in my blogs instead. I figure its probably a good idea right? I had an idea for another story today. I don't know when I will get around to writing it. Maybe next year, maybe earlier. I think it's kinda an original idea. I could be wrong. Who knows. My idea is one from a genre which I normally don't even register. Animals. A story with nothing but animal characters. I think it could be cool.

It presents a lot of opportunities for character explorations. In the story I'm currently writing there is a red tailed hawk that I've been writing about. It's pretty neat to do so. It's something I've never done before, but when I was a kid I did read the Animorphs, which I loved. Everyone I know who read those books loved them. I still have the majority of the series on my bookshelf.

So there is something that I learned from Stephen King that I'd like to share. It's about writing. It is about audience. It is about you. Yes you, my reader. Stephen King refers to you as the ideal reader. Are you my brother? My friend? My beloved? Who are you? It is really immaterial to be honest, but there you are. I have found you. I've been having a lot of success by writing for you dear reader. Even though at the point of me writing this I have no one who reads my writings. Not even my friends or girlfriend read this. But this is mostly for me anyway, I'm not really sad about the fact. If I wanted people to read this journal I would advertise it a bit more than I do. The point I was trying to make is that if you have trouble writing. You should find your own ideal reader. Also learning to kill the inner critic is a blessing. I have learned a lot about writing this month. Thank you Nanowrimo!
