Rookie mistake, this year I prepared ahead of time and things are going much smoother. I'm glad I fell on my face that first year, it showed me just how much I didn't know about writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356497788370563074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-35982497795948652102011-11-03T20:24:37.508-04:002011-11-03T20:24:37.508-04:00This is my first year trying to do NaNo. Not going...This is my first year trying to do NaNo. Not going that well, though. I had a migraine the first two days, and I stayed home sick from work today because of some sinus/fever/who-knows-what thing going on. Behind on the word count by about 3,000 going by the three-day average. Not sure if I'll be able to catch up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-67005286817188130642011-11-03T19:14:48.738-04:002011-11-03T19:14:48.738-04:00eh, things are going OK for me.

Maybe if I practice writing when everything isn't "just so" I will get more writing done, because things are never "just so!" <br />Wishing you quiet kittys for the next 27 days!Teri Anne Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500524348027951939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-39360023491633053402011-11-03T13:55:10.525-04:002011-11-03T13:55:10.525-04:00So happy to see your progress:)So happy to see your progress:)Toyin O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08429675861306256504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-75688889083375582472011-11-03T11:58:29.703-04:002011-11-03T11:58:29.703-04:00So much has happened for you, Summer!

And that NaNo creation will soon be my second book.Alex J.

And OH do I want it to!DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-18825177695935990172011-11-03T08:38:06.893-04:002011-11-03T08:38:06.893-04:00I think when I first started writing seriously (if...I think when I first started writing seriously (if that's even possible, lol), I believed that finishing, submitting and eventually publishing would happen like magic. Like bibbity-bobbity-boo. Now, I see it's lots of concentrated effort while focused on a goal. Even with that dull definition, it continues to be something I absolutely love to do. <br /><br />No Nano for me this year, I'm editing to sub to a contest, then I'm querying agents. Even tho thats good, I feel a little twinge of loss that the timing didn't work out to Nano. I'll cheer you all on from the sidelines!Jessica Lemmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388504462239939840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-6364810605931036982011-11-03T08:32:50.463-04:002011-11-03T08:32:50.463-04:00Amazing what two years can do!!

Well of course!<br /><br />But I do like that these days too - words tumble out of you "wherever and whenever"! Yay for you!<br /><br />Good luck nano-ing and yay for a fab office space like yours!
