I have a major post drafted on Christopher Vogler’s WRITER’S JOURNEY plotting method that I’ve road tested for you, our readers, but between NaNo, reading the novel of an author we hope to interview for WU, and life in general, the post still sucks a chicken’s butt. Instead, here is a haiku about my NaNo experience that I’d like to share with you. I’m using the popular 5-7-5 short renga structure.

Merciless NaNo

Has me shamed another day

Fingers await dawn

I hope to have the Vogler post ready soon. Until then, write on.
