Thank you, John!

My brother-in-law, John, emailed Joshua an encouragement every day (except one…oops) in October to build his confidence (and often make him laugh) as he prepared for NaNoWriMo. Then at the end of the month, John made three wordles (including this one) that incorporated all the words from those emails.  It’s pretty awesome.

Joshua and I made prints of this particular wordle so that we could hang one in the house and Joshua could bring one to work. John’s been so encouraging that his dedication toward cheering us on provides more motivation than our personal ambition when it comes to striving for NaNoWriMo success.

What can I say? We are easily influenced by guilt and others’ opinion of us.
