So I've been reading a new book series recently (which is probably a bad idea if I can't get my writerly voice disentangled from the voice of another author) and just today found the author's blog. I've come across a quote I thought would be nicely inspirational for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd share.

Karen Traviss on starting a new book:

Starting a book you've been looking forward to writing is like opening a box of Godiva chocolates. Actually, that's not a good anology in my case, seeing as I'd rather have a nice challenging bag of pork scratchings. And I mean the well 'ard British variety, which rate a 10 on the Mohs scale, not the softer US pork rinds. But I digress. The point is that you embark on a voyage of delicious discovery. Okay, you might lose a dental filling along the way, but the overall effect is one of diverse taste sensations and something truly satisfying to crunch down on.
