Frank, aka PCGuyIV, has returned as host of Truthful Tuesday. The idea behind this prompt is for us to respond to the question (or questions) Frank asks and to be 100% truthful in our responses. No glib answers, no funny business, no fibs. Just raw honesty.
This week, Frank wants to know…
Will you be participating in NaNoWriMo this year? If so, have you already started prepping for it, or are you waiting until November 1st to dive in?
Have you ever participated with either NaNoWriMo or NaPoWriMo in the past? If so, did you enjoy the process or was it not your cup of preferred hot beverage?
The short answers to both questions are “No.”
As to NaNoWriMo, I have never participated in the past, and I just don’t have the bandwidth to attempt averaging about 1,800 words a day working on a novel, keeping up with my own blog, reading posts from bloggers I follow, and living my real world life. So rather than getting frustrated by the whole process midway, I’m going to pass.
NaPoWriMo is, for me, a non-starter. My poetry writing is, at best, awful. So absolutely not!
This, That, and the Other 
I love reading poetry, but I struggle to write it… it actually hurts my brain I think… my brain wants to fully run into an adventure and bring everybody with me… poetry reduces me to sing songy and rhymy… noop!

I have never written for it either, I have too much going on with attempting my novel and the blog.

NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which is in November and the idea is to write a 50,000-word novel during the month. The other, NaPoWriMo, is the same thing but for poetry.
