I love Alexis and her blog, too! Glad you found your way here. My first dip into fiction was with NaNo, actually, and it helped me break in by taking off the pressure of being perfect. Instead of worrying, I just wrote. Let's hope this year goes as well. Good luck on your writing!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132594195395924087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-4883487626476607382009-10-29T09:08:57.476-04:002009-10-29T09:08:57.476-04:00Karina - Best of luck to you.

And I'm definitely leaning toward that.<br /><br />Margo - Good luck to you, too! Keep us posted on your progress. I completely understand the sleepless nights filled with excitement for your book. I'd take that as a good sign!

I like your idea of doing your memoir if that's what you feel geared up to do.

I've done it a few times now, and last year was the first time I reached the 50k goal.I haven't touched that novel since last year though lol<br /><br />This year I'm bending the rules and going back to my work in progress (another novel I started years ago). In a way it's almost a brand new novel because I've scrapped about 90% of it anyway, lolKarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399849455270704359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-63058088177071149632009-10-28T07:27:36.873-04:002009-10-28T07:27:36.873-04:00Hi, Melissa - Last time I did NaNo I didn't ha...Hi, Melissa - Last time I did NaNo I didn't have a plot outline or anything, just a few characters and the inklings of a story. That worked for me, though, because I just let each scene take me into the next one and didn't worry about sticking to a plot or hitting plot points. I had hoped to be better prepared with a new story, plot outline, character sketches, etc., this time around, but I have a feeling that my first story won't let me go until I finish it. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm really glad you commented so that I could "discover" your blog. I've added you to my favorites.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132594195395924087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-66271755965598964532009-10-27T22:05:10.036-04:002009-10-27T22:05:10.036-04:00I'm doing NaNo this year for the first time. ...I'm doing NaNo this year for the first time. I'm somewhat nervous because I have only a vague idea of this story ... definitely no plot outline or anything like that. Still, I figure anything I write is better than nothing - and gets me that much closer to a finished novel. <br /><br />Good luck - love your blog!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226691769768760275noreply@blogger.com
