Offering up a few pearls of wisdom: first of all, please ignore the nano counter to the left. Something screwy is up with them, and as a result, our word count goal is significantly A. different from each other and B. completely off the actual target. Do, however, look at the bold number in black: that's our amassed word count, and it's accurate. Observe it and be in awe of it. Also, I workshopped one of my pieces in my autobio class today; I was a bit surprised at the feedback I got. Apparently my professor, and a few of my classmates, think that I'm holding back in my writing. I never, ever considered that to be true -- but now I'm starting to have doubts about that. Maybe I do hold back. And now, for the first time all nano, I'm having writer's block. I'm meaning to start a piece about my family & holidays, but for some reason, it's a lot harder than I thought. I think I'm afraid of not being completely honest and saying what I want to say, although I don't know why I should not want to write it. I feel like I'm perfectly good at going on and on about things (consider the amount of pages I've written about my pets & fostering), but not so good at revealing everything at its core. Oh, I don't know.

Tomorrow Meg and I are going to the commons to write in one of the cafes. Maybe inspiration and honesty will stop in to say hi.
