NaNoWriMo – Crazy Stew

NaNoWriMo has always been my most successful writing, if by successful you mean word count and time spent. Three years in a row, I’ve yet to fail to hit my 50k words, even if I’m not quite at “The End” by the end of thirty days.

It’s also successful because you don’t have time to edit. You don’t have time to second guess yourself, or to worry about whether you’re putting in enough subtext, or if you correctly referred to one thing or another. You just have to get the words out, and you don’t worry about quality. That’s a freeing thing.

Samuel the Lamanite on the Wall of Zarahemla

Latter-Day Geek

Samuel the Lamanite on the Wall of ZarahemlaAs my contribution to “Speak Out with your Geek Out“, there are a lot of things I could talk about.
I could talk about books – e- and otherwise. I could talk about gaming (PC, Gamecube, Wii, DSi, 3DS… Pokemon…). Or movies. (Star Wars…) Or anime… (working my way through Xam’d now – thank goodness for Netflix). Or writing.
But the point of Speak Out with your Geek Out is to talk about that secret geekiness that you aren’t comfortable sharing out in the wide world. Which for me, means talking about me being a geek about my church.
I know, I’ve talked about being LDS on the blog before, (see my post on Being Unpopular, for example), but I don’t know that I’ve talked about my geeky love for my church. Every morning, I make it a point to get out my scriptures and spend some time reading and thinking. And most of the time, I’m reading and studying in the Book of Mormon. If I’m driving somewhere in the car, chances are 50/50 that I’m thinking about something related to my church. Why?
