Hello everyone! I'm Steve, and I discovered something deep and meaningful in NanoWriMo 2010. I found that I am a slow, methodical writer, and when I try for speed, I suck worse than a drooling infant.

This is truly a crucial self-revelation. It's right up there with finding out that, although my hands are like two catcher's mitts and my musical ear is made of a tin pie pan, I can strum an electric guitar to Bob Marley's "Jammin'" and the neighbors don't call the cops.

So, I encourage everyone to enter NanoWriMo with the zeal of a longshoreman hitting the seaport with a fistful of cash and a lump in his jeans. You will uncover something about yourself from the endeavor. Hopefully your "something" is more successful than my "something".

The Forum for Naperville is an absolute motivator for all forms of written art. Katherine, Dean and, especially, Tim, work like one-armed TSA agents to make Naperville the pinnacle of Nanowrimo elegance. I, like the other 1400+ Naperville area members, am here to bask in the glow of the fine spirit and helpful nature of my fellow MLs and writers.

I may come and cajole a couple of you at a write-in or something. I appreciate Naperville WriMo.

Sincerely, Steve from Geneva, IL Cheers to all.
