Couldn't finish last year because it was crunch time for school and I had to move as they sold my apartment building to make dorms for the university across the street. This year, I'm paying back school debt which means I'm home practically all day, so I can indulge in this reckless literary abandon. Have my schedule ready. :-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766429761621383375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-29836189350106187372011-10-27T15:20:28.629-04:002011-10-27T15:20:28.629-04:00I'm gonna do it!!

Good luck this year!<br /><br />Coco: Very touching tribute to your mother. When I teach writing workshops, I always encourage my students to stop *wanting* and start *being.* I tell them, "Whenever anyone asks 'What do you do?' don't tell them about your career or your kids. Don't let them define you. Tell them 'I'm a writer.'" In a very real sense, your mother's dream of being a writer did come true. She wrote and, even though she's gone, the words she wrote still speak to you. She has a dedicated reader. No author could wish for more.Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-43236084215149316262011-10-26T00:36:48.605-04:002011-10-26T00:36:48.605-04:00My mother died quite suddenly in August and I have...My mother died quite suddenly in August and I have been given some of her many journals that she began over the years. It is comforting to hear her words again, discovering at last the woman that she was. I smile at her clever use of words and am touched by her insight into the events around her. However, each year a journal begins with a yearning to be a writer, but the writing ends suddenly a few weeks later.<br />If you have <em>ever</em> wanted to write, I <em>implore</em> you to take up this challenge. Follow it through to the end of the month and see what you end up with. NaNoWriMo isn't so much about producing a bestseller by Christmas. NaNoWriMo is about what you become in the process. With NaNoWriMo behind you, your next journal won't begin like my mother's always did, "I <em>want</em> to be a writer." By December you'll be able to say, "I <em>am</em> a writer."<br />Coco<br />http://threeof7.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/why/Coco del Corazonhttp://threeof7.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/why/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-42887691850588864172011-10-25T23:38:05.525-04:002011-10-25T23:38:05.525-04:00Love these reasons.

It is a way to at least get out characters, scenes, and story albeit in a frenzied, maddening way.

So I have a lot of unedited manuscripts around, and spend a lot of time working on those. NaNo says I can write myself one more unedited manuscript, and so I love it.KD Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331721898295889961noreply@blogger.com
