Sounds like things are progressing well. I do hope that you will share some excerpts once you have reached your goal.

Thanks! I think I have a piece or two that isn't too embarassing.

Scott,

to be honest, I jumped on the NaNoWriMo wagon to be hip. I really wasn't expecting to put in the amount of effort this thing apparently requires. like, right now, I've got 1,000 words and no sense of scene composition. but whenever I read your novel updates, I kick myself in the butt.

even if I top out at the end of the month with 30k, it'll still be by far far far the deepest piece of ficti.... of anything that I've written. that I could drink hot cocoa to.

I hear you.

I'll tell you this much: It's shown me that beating yourself up over a one-page poem is pretty ridiculous.

Go, Scott, Rah Rah Rah!!!

I've been overwhelmed with work (that is to say, the writing that pays my bills) and haven't touched my novel in over a week, but I'm still hanging in there and hoping to have the word count by the end of the month. I /have/ put out a 50,000 word book in a week or less before, and when I'm really in the zone, I can do 20,000 words in a day non-fiction so...
