N

I accidentally skipped yesterday: a negative thing. And I'd been worried that "n" would be a negative experience: "no," "non," "negative," "not."

But this morning approaching the prompt, I'm hearing "nascent," "nave," and "navigate." Perhaps its the running training Matt and I have underway? The possibility of "new" pathways and potential?  Let's see.

nave

nascent

navigate

necessary

nonsense

none

no

not

negative

negate

negotiate

nab

name

natural

narcissism

narcotic

narcoleptic

nominal

nom de plume (for all the furtive writers out there...)

notion

notional

note

notation

night

nightly

nickle

noxious

neurotic

...and where it all started, with:

nerves

ne'er do well

nuisance

needle

needless

narrate

.... 41... I do hope I have a day where my first count is something outrageous like 62!

nap/naptime

Nefertiti

Nile

Nigerian

nevertheless

nature

nest

negligent

neck

necking

...51.  I wish I'd been timing these exercises as I've gone along.  Did "A" take nine minutes and "N" only five?  Was the endless "K" a two-day process?  What will happen to me when I'm forced to wrestle with "U" and "X, Y, and Z"?

Matt asked me last night what I'll do once I've lapped the alphabet, and I really have no idea.  Do I start over at "A" and confirm this as truly just a "wake up to words" exercise?  Or do I troll my writing books for new prompts and see what issues forth?

I'm truly hesitant to capital-W write in this venue.  It seems dangerous, footloose, unwieldy somehow.
