But then I remind myself that I always feel this way, no matter how much preparation I've done, and it always seems to work out. So I'm thinking positive thoughts and typing like mad!Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231656540175892601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-41368039849789190822010-11-01T18:59:59.896-04:002010-11-01T18:59:59.896-04:00Suzi, so sorry to hear about that.

I already see that I'm going to have to do huge wordcounts on the weekends because by the time I get home from my non-job, I'm almost too tired to think! But I will write, even if it's just a bit, because I have Dr. Wicked and he is my friend. ;oPnightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-84959184446487812632010-11-01T12:54:36.794-04:002010-11-01T12:54:36.794-04:00Jitters and excitement, too.

I had a bright, shiny new project all ready to roll out for NaNo, and instead one of my old projects rared its head and demanded a rewrite, RIGHT NOW. So I'm counting my words as a NaNo rebel and hoping I can knock out both before the month is over. *grumble*<br /><br />http://arizela.com<br /><br />ArizelaArizelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659021415602949684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-2805934617868679872010-11-01T10:48:28.616-04:002010-11-01T10:48:28.616-04:00Yep, jitters are definitely in place.

It was easier when I was just promising myself I'd write 50K in November. But hey, nobody said this was supposed to be easy.

Last year I came so close, and both of my kids (6 and 8 at the time) finished their YWP novels. This year all three of us are writing again and I'm NOT going to be the only one who doesn't finish again!<br /><br />I'll be blogging about NaNoWriMo and the YWP, and hopefully posting some excerpts of the kids stories (if they let me).Andreahttp://kidsbyhand.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-92020474752986519532010-11-01T10:04:40.414-04:002010-11-01T10:04:40.414-04:00Thank you, Lynn!

I love NaNo, all the more since my NaNo effort for 2009, a psychological thriller titled "it Can't Be You" will be published at the end of Nov 2010.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-51673902798226519622010-11-01T08:08:38.843-04:002010-11-01T08:08:38.843-04:00I thought I was ready, but when it came time to wr...I thought I was ready, but when it came time to write, I ended up staring at the computer screen without being able to come up with anything.

I'm both excited and terrified.<br /><br />I had a story all prepped except maybe five more scenes, but have decided to switch to another project to take the Harlequin one week intensive (so I needed a romance project). I decided on it yesterday and had nothing more than a three sentence start written back in 2003. I have more than that now though. It's coming to life left and right and I'm feeling a little better about it now, because I haven't done raw development for NaNo...umm...pretty much ever :).Margaret M.
