What do you like about writing?

I’d like to try out the NaBloPoMo challenge. In case that looks like gibberish to you, it stands for “National Blog Posting Month”. Basically the idea is that you write a blog post every day in November. It coincides with NaNoWriMo, which is short for “National Novel Writing Month”. In the latter, the idea is to write a novel (50,000 words or more) in the month of November. That comes down to about 1,700 words per day, which is a lot. I think for my level of availability, NaBloPoMo is more achievable. There’s no minimum length for a blog post, and I can write more than one at a time and queue them up.

One thing that also helps is the fact that there are prompts to help out with NaBloPoMo. Someone asks a question, and you answer it with a blog post&emdash;simple enough.

Here is the first prompt (posting a day late because I just found out about this last night):

What is your favorite part about writing?

For this I don’t really have a good answer. I enjoy creativity in general, and writing is a relatively new (to me) way of expressing myself. I have ambitions of writing stories, books, and all of those things one day, but for now I just enjoy writing on my blog as an outlet to communicate my life with my friends and family.
