For the past two years November has given me a forward push to continue on into the new year. It's liberating to keep writing new words every day instead of constantly re-writing or editing.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695799921876885230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-69135743063611028562011-10-27T08:53:18.113-04:002011-10-27T08:53:18.113-04:00All great advice.

I waste a lot of time daily when I could be writing. I have five days in which to mull over a novel possibility if I'm going to do this. I wrote my last novel in four months.

NaNoWriMo should get me back on track.

I'd been writing seriously at that time for about 6 months. It was awesome to discover I could write every day no matter what was going on in the house around me. My kids learned that "Mom is writing- do not bother" for that month. Wonderful experience. I haven't been able to join since, except once with a previously started ms that has yet to see an ending. I want to do this but it seems like I start a new wip weeks before Nov 1st every year! Maybe one day I'll learn to sit on an idea and save it for Nano. :)Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-21607190821792678862011-10-26T10:31:38.314-04:002011-10-26T10:31:38.314-04:00This is my fifth year with NaNoWriMo, and I'd ...This is my fifth year with NaNoWriMo, and I'd recommend it! The thing to remember is--just get the words down. First drafts are notoriously bad--rewriting and revising is a given.

Thanks for reminder that all there is to do is keep writing. Coming from Detroit, as Leonard does, I love his gritty approach to his fiction and his writing of it.
