Who all is doing NaNoWriMo?
Since I'm out of a job this month, I decided to work on this project.

Is anybody else working on a novel? :D

1. I'm hoping and praying to do it!
I only made it a few days last year, so we'll see what happens. But I have 3000 words already!

4. Great job, Rabrrrrrr!

I tried to do this about 3 or 4 years ago now. I didn't get very far then either, But I'm giving it a serious go this time.

7. My advice...
Take a stack of paper and fill it in so it looks like a novel.

(Hey, it works for sculptors! :D )

13. I'm struggling right now because I have a hard time just writing the
words down. I am constantly judging and changing things and getting stuck on the same paragraph. I keep telling myself I can edit later...or even just chuck it. It's the writing that's important. :D

15. Don't rerwrite
I think of it as a month-long freewriting session. :-)
