Brief Author Bio: This year, I'm taking a different approach to NaNo in an attempt to bust through my writer's block and bring joy back to the writing process. Instead of a proper novel, I'm doing the 50 Songs Project, where I set iTunes to shuffle and list the first 50 songs that come up, then use each one as a writing prompt. Short stories, short short stories, poems, scenes, or who knows what else may come out of it, but most of all, I just want to make writing fun again. |
