Make it bigger. Make it smaller. Make it your ideal size.
Now place it in the middle of a forest.
A small stream flows nearby.
The forest is on a mountain side.
It's been snowing.
It's nearly dusk.
Through one of the windows you can see the glow of light.

Now look at that! I made you see something right? Naturally you didn't see the same thing I did - everyone has their own unique vision - but my words still were your guide.
Being a writer is like being a guide. We lead our readers on journeys, adventures, quests.
Something else we do...
is Camp NaNo!!!
While we may not be in idyllic cabins - not me anyway - writers from around the world are "gathering" to participate in the event.
I have chosen to do so. And to continue a previous work instead of starting from scratch. I am working on The Animalia Project! A story about a young teen girl named Dallas that loves to win; and how her life changes when she begins to develop unnatural abilities. Go visit my Pinterest board for it! https://www.pinterest.com/rosecottagekitt/the-animalia-project/
And here is a newly written snippet! I feel like it shows off Dallas pretty well.

The
first time that Dallas won a fight, she was seven years old. It was while walking
down a side street in town that she heard the sounds of an altercation. Curious
as she is, she went towards them. What she discovered, was a group of six
bullies beating up a young boy that was around her same age. She calmly walked
up to the one that she guessed was the leader and tapped his arm. This dark
haired boy – probably eleven – turned around angrily and told her to shove off.
She - still calmly - asked to know why he was beating up a little boy.

My word goal is 10,000. Which might not be a lot, but with how busy I'll be this month, I think it's still going to be a challenge.
Are any of you Camp NaNo-ing? What is your project?
