it takes practice. If you have a good story - why not just write it?

personally, I couldn't do it - and wouldn't because a word count challenge doesn't equal a book to me

i used to write all the time, but haven't in 10 years. I think I used NiNoWriMo as an excuse to start again.

I've got a pretty good Chapter 1 though

I keep thinking I will write but I don't know if I have a book in me. I think I lived it instead.
