Imagination Trials
Imagination is something that most people have but few people share. Those who use their imagination incessantly might wind up as an author, a fashion designer, a video game designer, a carpenter, an architect, or even a hairdresser. Those who are more practical might say that they do not have the time to be imaginative; they must focus on their work or their education. Why can't they do both? Why can't one use their imagination in their work? To take this point even further, might I suggest that one could be more creative if they separated a time specifically to develop their imagination? I have often wondered about developing my imagination, and I am going to try to develop my creativity by participating in the NaNoWriMo challenge this November. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is an organization that advocates creativity and encourages people to dedicate time to write a novel during November. I have always wanted to get some of my ideas into a book, but I have never dedicated time to do write anything down. Now, I have the opportunity. In order to be able to write fifty thousand words in a month, I have to write one thousand seven hundred words per day. So, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, of course! The NaNoWriMo contest has piqued my interest in the creative arts; What would get you involved? Comment below, and maybe you can challenge yourself to be more creative!

As of today, I have written just over 8,000 words in the NaNoWriMo challenge. I haven't written my 2,000 words for today yet, so by the end of today, I should have 10,000 words. The novel is coming along!
