- After having the worst week of my life (literally - boot camp was a DREAM compared to this), I am finding it VERY cathartic to have the NaNoWriMo novel to work on.
- Is anybody else incessantly hitting "word count" after typing a paragraph? *g*
- I went about this novel different than anything I have ever approached in writing and it seems to be working. I still have no defined plot, but I am listening to the characters instead of trying to force my vision on the novel and the words are flowing AND a plot is slowly coming to the fore. I LOVE that feeling.
- So, are the publishers aware of NaNoWriMo? Do you think they are deliciously anticipating the wonderful works of art that may come their way at the end? Dreading the amateur novels that may be hoisted their way? Or pretty indifferent? My vote is pretty indifferent, but you never know!
- I have a work dinner tonight, I have to work 14 hours tomorrow (locked in a boardroom with 12 other people and no access to a computer) and 5 hours on Sunday, so I am thinking not much is going to get done on my novel this weekend, which makes me sad.
- maitre' d counts as two words!
Oh! And the link I provided AGES ago (Oct 8) has been removed and everything has been moved to a passworded directory per Jenni's advice. I have the page all loaded and passworded, but haven't moved any of my story there yet. But, if you want to keep track once I've uploaded the story (which I think I may do Sunday) the link is http://www.schoolgirlshamus.net/NaNoWriMo/ - you can email me for the password. And if you have enough on your plates and don't want to read it, I totally understand! I haven't gotten my lazy butt over to my email to request any of you who have things passworded, but I plan to soon! *g*
Everybody keep up the good work! And Misty and Mary, there is nothing basement-y or rock bottom-y about either of you!!!!!!!!!!
Well, aren't I being wordy - I told you the words were flowing!
