Book Openings and that terrible habit of not moving forward.

My Nano novel is going to be my fantasy novel - not THE fantasy novel but the prequel that that Tor editor suggested in an offhand way (oh so many years ago) that she thought I should write. It is outlined like a big boss, beautifully-scrivenerized, and though I intend to start from scratch with it, I was a bit bored at work and since I have to at

That's a long list of books to write.

But I hear you. I have so much I want to write. Sometimes I panic at the thought that there might not be enough time. But then I tell myself that I'm getting into the habit of actually writing on a regular/daily basis, and that I will make the time, I will write all I need to write.

I am so happy that you'll be doing NaNoWriMo this year too!! We can commiserate & kick each other's asses on twitter :D Is your username still the same? I just created a new account, so if you find yourself being added by a new person, that's most likely me! :D

[paragraphs]

Oh yay! Um, LOL I better look that up. I should go do that right now and will tweet at you if it is changed. :>:)

Yes, I haven't done it seriously in a few years but sold that one at least? LOL! I learned I was supposed to notify nanowrimo of that so I guess I will do that also. :)

What are you going to write?

[dayari]

Yayay! You do that, I'll be here poised to add whichever username you give me! :D

And oooh that is awesome about you actually selling a NaNo novel--you're right, the Office of Letters and Light should definitely hear about that! They might contact you to write a pep talk for them--I'm sure you'd give the best pep talks! :D ♥

I'm fairly sure I'm going to continue working on the story I started last April, the Steampunk fantasy. I haven't worked on it in about 2 months, but I'm still really excited about it & keep getting new ideas, and right now I'm actually drawing some of my characters so I hope to add some serious plot development this November! :D

It's so weird to find old stories, isn't it?

Have fun with Nano!

It is! The 'did I really write that?' moment. :)

Slowest reader in the world here but Lhind has discovered the truth of the necklace and the bone whistle! Also, I want to pet Lhind. LOLOL.

Nothing wrong with multiple openings. Untouchable had about 7-8 before I settled with one, remember?

I'm excited for NaNo this year, too. I wish I could be there with yall, but I am there in spirit. We may have to do a Skype/Google Hang out Write In...

Also you reminded me I should probably remove SWMNBN from my NaNo friends...lol

I saw her and wondered if that were possible.

[jealousofstars]

Yep! Go under My NaNoWriMo and click on Writing Buddies. Click her name, and at the top, to the left of her picture is the option to remove them as a buddy.
