I haven't written like that before and so now I know I can do it; just not this year. :)Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351735136041092294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-59936095586755355262012-10-23T16:30:27.456-06:002012-10-23T16:30:27.456-06:00I signed up for NaNoWritMo.

I think 5000 words in a month would be a more suitable goal for me. =) And it worked out great last time you did it with the Jump Start.

I was so disappointed with me. I really was very diligent with my time, too. I made sure that I wrote over 1600 words every day, but then Thanksgiving came along and I missed a couple of days, and Sundays--zap! There went my word count. <br /><br />That being said...<br /><br />I have a story that I have rambling in my head, and a little of it outlined in my computer that I would love to have a good chunk written. NaNoWriMo competition would be a GREAT excuse to shove everything else aside and write that rough draft--right? <br /><br />Oh, my heck! I just got goosebumps! That excitement just convinced me to register. I'll do that right now. Yay!!!

I'm not doing it this year because I'm in the middle of other projects, and I'm a little sad about that.

My deadline is December 15th. Guess God had other plans!<br /><br />Good luck! I think you should go for it! And just think, what if you do reach 50,000 words? Won’t you be bummed you didn’t sign up for it through the website?? ;-)KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-7056687754559759542012-10-23T11:23:43.812-06:002012-10-23T11:23:43.812-06:00I'm doing NaNo for the first time this year.

That way I don't feel too bad when I don't meet the official goal. ;)M. R. Buttarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254667852244186938noreply@blogger.com
