Memories of Snow

Introduction from Memories and Other Dreams

Author's Note: This is the original introduction to Camp NaNoWriMo 2015. I posted this and the following 25 entries in this memoir in July 2015.

Introduction

I created this collection of poetry and prose for Camp NaNoWriMo 2015. It contains both poetry and prose which are rated from E to 18+ because I never know when I start writing what the rating will be. I set the rating at 18+ and do not intend to go higher all though some of the items may be lower then an 18+ rating.

I am going to attempt to make an entry everyday in this items and then post my word count on the NaNoWriMo camp sight. I suspect most of this will be prose or prose poetry because I will attempt some timed writing. I left the word count goal at 50,000 when I logged into the campsite, but I may change that before midnight Pacific Daylight Time tonight.

Synopsis

This is a collection of poetry and prose. My word count goal for this collection is 25,000 words by the end of April. Some of the items in this book will be essays, articles, proses poems, etc. The daily word count goal is 843 words.

Ideas for entries in this book

1. The Difference Between Material and Spiritual Wealth.
2. Do I use writing as an excuse not to do housework?
3. Am I obsessed with the word count?
4. Why do I get hungry when I am writing?
5. Why does the thought of editing stress me out?
