Earlier this year, I set a goal to finish a solid draft of my memoir and to achieve this mission i’m going into the wild, er, offline…
A MONTHLONG period away from social media, the internet, ethernet and all those nets, in an archaic approach to finish this labor of love that i’m damn excited to share with you.
Now, I generally write longhand, heavy Cross pen, paper, table and tea–so this writing without a computer business is basically how I conduct my work anyway. But, to be away from my peers, my colleagues and you people taking time to read these articles, that’s the toughest part.
I want to keep this short so let me finish by wishing my fellow Americans an enlightening and restful Thanksgiving. And, you Turks, love him or hate him, happy Ataturk Day (Nov 10th.) The same goes for you Zoroastrians out there, happy Adargan (celebration of fire Nov 10.)And, to you Moroccans and Lebanese–happy Independence Day (Nov 18th, Nov 22nd respectively.) And, you, yes you, take a break and celebrate “Buy Nothing Day” (Nov 28th.)
You can reach me at info@nicholasandriani.com and I’ll get back to you in 30 days or more. It’s just little strange to say that.
Thank you for all the support and encouragement. I look forward to catching up with all of you in one month.
Until then…

Good luck with it. see you on the other side
Happy writing!
it’s always nice to get away from social media and internet! you are indeed incredible. And wild xD
Go for it. NaNoWriMo can be a liberating experience.
Break a leg and enjoy the quiet. I’m almost done w/ my solid draft – two years in the making. Lots of gestating during the process for me.
I prefer to write the same way mate, even down to the tea! GOOD LUCK!!!
But, but, but… Who’s gonna like my stuff?? Aaaaaaack.
Alright. I wish you the best writing, of course. The very best. Your presence will be missed. Write like crazy.
