Katherine is going to take a stab at the NaNoWriMo thing, under their Young Writer Program. She gets to set her own word goal — her grade level target range is 4-8K, so we’ve set her up at 4K.

She actually has a whole series of ideas, which I will not spoil, but I’m looking forward to seeing and reading over the next month.

Her biggest worry is (big surprise) that she will not apply herself and get through with it.  It’s going to be a very delicate balancing act between between encouraging her to her writing while still not over-pressuring her.

I’ve put a link in the sidebar to her NaNoWriMo page.  Unfortunately, either her ID hasn’t fully processed through the system yet, or they have barriers between the adult and YWP portions of NaNoWriMo, since I can’t seem to send her messages or make her a “Writing Buddy.”

Anyway, a BIG shout-out to Kitten, who is taking the biggest, bravest step of starting.  To November 30th, and beyond!
