Beginning Nanowrimo

Yesterday was the beginning of Nanowrimo, but I was at church, so today I am starting...yay. That's a less than enthusiastic cheer. I love to write, but the hardest part about writing for me is always the beginning. I usually like to start on the end and work may up. I tend to write five or sometimes ten different beginnings before the story starts to flow. I guess I'm more a visual learner that I like to see things in my head before committing them to paper. However in that moment when it comes to put ink to paper the transition is sometimes awkward, but then it begins to work out eventual. I learned early on that when faxed wit ha blank white computer page I have a hard time typing because I end up erasing it all. A notebook enables me to write down whatever I want and make mistakes, which I illegibly scratch out with ink. A notebook gives me the freedom of making mistakes, but the best part is when I write out on a notebook and go back to type up on the computer I have an easier time plotting things out rather then trying to go through and read a microsoft word document. However writing drafts in a notebooks has one monstrous downside, what does one do with all the notebooks filled with drafts? They're half way to the top of my dresser
