My first time with PiBo. Sounds crazy, but I’m combining writing the NaNoWriMo while pushing my creative juices for a nonfiction picture book.

Maybe crazy, Melanie, but totally doable. I have done it twice and I’m considering it again this year. Now THAT’s crazy. 😉

Reblogged this on Helen Ross writes and commented:
This is a wonderful quote by Roald Dahl posted by Tara Lazar. It is already November but thought it a lovely quote to reblog on the first Monday of November. Wishing everyone a happy and inspirational month, especially for all the Wrimos out there who have left the starting blocks for either PiBoldMo, NaNoWriMo or NaBloPoMo. This is my third year for PiBoldMo and I’m excited. All the best. Keep smiling – you will make the finish line. Now, I’ll just go grab my sunnies – I can see beautiful sunbeams everywhere.
