I guest blog at Magic Words and discuss NaNo and house building and brick laying and well, words.

Thirty Days Hath November

The last line makes me snicker every time.

Thanks for this.

A question about writing if you have time to address it - do you write in a straight line, and/or with an outline?

[andpuff]

I write in a straight line. I start at the beginning and write every scene sequentially through to the end. (with a few detours back to tweak things). No outline, merely the single page pitch my agent uses to sell the book.

Apropos of nothing except I haven't been in LJ lately and therefore have not "seen" you - I am *loving* the new book that Joey sent me! Wow. Funky. Can't *wait* to find out what the heck is going on!! Miss you.
Hugs!

[andpuff]

MISS YOU TOO!

Hugs back!

Dude, my blog post wasn't at all negative. If you can write that way, go for it. I can't.

I'm definitley building a framework of a house this month... the editing is going to be a little intense but I think I may actually get it done which is better than last year's NaNo attempt. This year I used an outline so there have been a few brick laid in the foundation...

I like the metaphor :)

There are definitely days when I wished I could write like a framer! Good luck!

It was nice to see you stop by! The MW folks have been getting some awesome guest posts lately.

[andpuff]

Thank you. And yes, they certainly have.
