    I mentioned in my last post that I was going to talk the search for a good critique partner. This post is going to hit and run on that topic. We’re here because I did infact audition some people as critique partners. And I found a few who were very helpful. Everyone that offered to…

    For a day or so I’ve been behind. I’ve worked on my story everyday but I got caught up in changing my POV from third person to first. I didn’t feel I could write it well in third and I felt like I needed to change it all over before I moved on. In some…

    Before I get started on my book today I want to take a few minutes and put up some of my thoughts so that I can have either a blog or a podcast on them later. I don’t think doing a podcast or a blog is a very good idea during Nano. There’s a lot…

    I’m really proud of myself because I caught up today. I didn’t really write yesterday so I didn’t make my quota and that meant I needed to be at 5001 words today before sleep. I had effectively 3300 words to make up and I did it. ๐Ÿ™‚ I have more to talk about tomorrow from…

    Well, I didn’t write yet today. I am not counting the day being over until I go to bed. I’m not sure I’m going to actually make today’s goal but I have all day and night tomorrow to catch up for today and get in tomorrow’s numbers. However, something I did do to help me…

    I have to tell you, when I finished last night at 287 words I was freaking. I figured there was no way I was going to make my quota. I’m a little daunted even now thinking about tomorrow and managing to get in the quota. BUT!…… Today’s finished word count by 2am (no I didn’t…

    I’m up and I’ve gotten a good amount of sleep. I’ve read some Nano board posts and I’m prepping to write some more. But I’ve had a few thoughts on beginning I thought I would share. It was almost impossible for me to start off last night. I looked at the blank paper for probably…

    Last night I recieved a letter from the NaNo NYC Chapter. They are going to be having get togethers Wednesday and Sundays during NaNoWrMoNYC. The thought of taking my laptop for “write-ins” sounds really fun! So I may do that. It got me thinking alot about writing and since I couldn’t sleep last night I…
