I don't have much to say about “Bean Speech”. I woke up and my half asleep brain was tickled by the word “Beans!”, especially when used as an expletive. I'm easily drawn to comedy and puns so that's what made up the rest. Now I want to spend a few words on explaining the project. I've become restless about finding a way of expressing myself. Writing seems to have a low barrier of entry so I thought to give it a shot. I do enjoy storytelling, but up to now it has been limited to improvised performances. My hope for fiction writing is to find an outlet that I can engage in on my own. Obviously I'm starting with very little skill, so I knew I'd have to find a way to motivate myself to push through and get some practice in. November is NaNoWriMo, which seemed like as good a time as any to try out writing. I quickly and very consciously decided against writing one big story though. It's just about getting into a habit, letting go of perfectionism, and getting the hang of juggling words into sentences, not about the stories themselves.
