NaNoWriMo: A Pep Talk From Neil Gaiman

We're now officially half way through NaNoWriMo which means thousands of novels across the world (I don't know how many of you are still writing) are half written. If you don't think that this is exciting then you're wrong. This is a movement that literally gets people together to create art.

That said, reaching the half way milestone may not be so encouraging. Many get off to a good start only to find their inspiration dwindling. The beginning and ending are often clear, but creating the middle of the novel can put extraordinary pressure on the author. In this article Neil Gaiman discusses why you should keep going with an inspirational pep talk for NaNoWriMers. I hope it inspires you to keep going or to get writing again. I'm off to do a word sprint.
