While some are daunted by the daily word count asked of us (1600) during NaNoWriMo, the positive aspect of this entire venture is to simply write.

Symbols deepen what we, as readers, come to know and experience with a character.
But what makes us feel with and for her, or him [the protagonist]–cry with them, scream for them, die with them?
What ultimately moves and transforms us, the reader, along with the central character of a story, or novel?
Certainly obstacles and a great antagonist stoke the fires of us cheering on the protagonist.
