10. NaNoWriMo 2015: The Finish Line

This is apparently the Korean drama recommendation episode! This week JJ and Kelly tackle the end of NaNoWriMo. Sort of. We hope. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving! We will be on hiatus next week, but will pick up again in December! Gobble, gobble.

Show Notes

Have some tropes!

• Bicker Bicker, Kiss Kiss (What TVTropes calls Slap-Slap-Kiss)

• Kong-ji, Pat-ji (Korean Cinderella)

• The Big Misunderstanding

Remember, whether or not you "win" NaNoWriMo this year, be proud of everything you have accomplished! Success isn't defined solely by word count, and hopefully you've taken away some tools and lessons from the experience.

What We're Reading/Books Discussed

• Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

• Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones (hey, we had to promote our own at some point)
