“We saw the river bed,
dry green tunnels
and secret paths unseen,
And witnessed heaven through the treetops,
saw how the sky was so, so blue
and wondered what it means.”
October is one of my favorite months, full of colorful
leaves, spooky decorations, and the artistic event of Inktober. Technically
Inktober is meant for artists, who draw one ink drawing per day, but my friend
has put a writing spin on it by replacing drawings with handwritten pages. I used to
write by hand all the time, and I find it’s a nice way to get the ideas flowing
without worrying about editing, so I’ve decided to join the festivities. Unlike
NaNoWriMo’s requirement of 50,000 words in 30 days, or 1,666 words a day,
Inktober has the completely reasonable goal of what I would estimate is about 150
words a day. I’ll be starting October 8th, since this week I’ve got to draft an
important paper for one of my classes (c'est la vie), but I’m still aiming for
31 pages. If you fancy yourself a writer, please join with your own word goal
of however many pages you would like.
