Write-ins are awesome

This being my first NaNo and only 4 days in at that, it may be premature to claim a "favorite thing about NaNo." But I'm going to anyway. My favorite thing about NaNo is how it completely annihilates the lonely isolated writer myth. Between the forums and the pep talks and the write-ins, you've got a whole world of people all doing the same thing. We share our joys and sorrows, our fails and wins and our 5,000th and 10,000th words. Yes, the writing happens in my head. But the experience of writing isn't so solitary anymore. It is now something I can do and something I can share. Thank you NaNoWriMo! *smooch*
