I am in awe with the amount you pump out in such a short space of time.<br />Ciara--keep going! Even if you finish a few thousand words behind, it is still a huge achievment to write 40-odd-K in a month.

It's hard enough to get through it with the old internal editor ringing in when you least expect it or want it.<br /><br />I'm still plugging away with NaNoWriMo, having a blast and haven't lost too much of my hair. For me, just the thought of catching up with writing I should have finished earlier this year keeps me going strong.W.J.

I'm exhausted after giving an in-service on descriptive writing to over 200 middle schoolers today. :) Let's see if I can still write a couple thousand words tonight. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630451309287425620.post-6509905099412200432010-11-15T13:30:31.377+01:002010-11-15T13:30:31.377+01:00Hi Jen, I've read some people being amazingly ...Hi Jen, I've read some people being amazingly positive about what they've written. I don't know if it is just me, but I am always filled with some form of doubt that my work is flawed in some way.<br />It's great that you're ahead. I always leave things to the last minute, so I'm expecting a sprint to the finish line. <br />Thanks for stopping by!Marissafarrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409272164117892923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630451309287425620.post-34593726418967078992010-11-15T10:33:16.268+01:002010-11-15T10:33:16.268+01:00I don't think we're supposed to know just ...I don't think we're supposed to know just yet.
