The inspiring, intimidating Doctorow
I'm reading Doctorow. He puts more into one sentence than I could force into a novel, even if I could finish the novel. It's rather intimidating. I get frustrated, thinking that he's making it all too vague, but I keep reading until it suddenly becomes clear about where he has been leading my mind. Fascinating stuff.
My NaNo novel won't be like that. I will try to write in enough simple sentences to keep my word count on track to finish. I don't know why I believe I can do that. Faith in the impossible? Fear of failing to meet the expectations of all those people that I bragged to about doing it? Whatever it takes.
Doctorow has nine years on me and a literary background and education that I would need another two lives to attain but I'll bet he never tried NaNoWriMo. So there.
