I've been planning but I don't know how well that will turn out. I think it will be fun and I'll probably learn something about writing. Will I make it to 50K? I don't know, but I still think it will be worthwhile.Debbie A Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219009309869041795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-17145569529637219462012-10-04T05:21:35.307-04:002012-10-04T05:21:35.307-04:00I'd love to do Nano - think it's a great w...I'd love to do Nano - think it's a great way to draft a novel quickly - especially if you go into it with a really clean outline (bit of a cheat perhaps). I'm certainly not in a place now where I can neglect the rest of my life for so long and on such a concentrated basis, but maybe one day - kids are growing.

Like you, Peggy, I learned a lot and my writing certainly speeded up throughout the month.<br />For the first time too I relaxed and let the story grow organically and gave the characters free rein.<Anne Duguid Knolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332742931248440319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-79487313089943648222012-10-03T09:52:39.970-04:002012-10-03T09:52:39.970-04:00I have never participated in Nano, and I doubt tha...I have never participated in Nano, and I doubt that I ever will. The problem is that it just doesn't fit my writing style. Nano wants you to bang out words and leave the editing until next month. Arrrgh! I'm an "edit as you go" type. If I see an error, or just something that needs improvement, I want to fix it NOW! Those uncorrected bits will rankle me, destroy my concentration Jim Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033770381343017153noreply@blogger.com
