Thousands of people do it every year and the challenge is to write a novel in the month of November. Check out their website at http://www.nanowrimo.org/<br /><br />It got me motivated last year to start writing and now I'm self-publishing my own e-novel at http://www.mariamedia.net/no-songs-for-men/<br /><br />Keep up the great work!Maria @dailydownwarddog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831982254521107537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-31073386106707794702010-08-10T22:56:14.802-05:002010-08-10T22:56:14.802-05:00You're awesome!

Strange right? Maybe I'll find a plot for her, but for now, she's taking over my blog. I like her.

I can see that your character driven approach has more potential that just sitting down and trying to tell a story ... if you just go with the flow you'll never get stuck! This sounds like a great way to approach NaNoWriMo in November...Selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206796913550353670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-41933819676218427052010-08-09T00:57:51.545-05:002010-08-09T00:57:51.545-05:00Hopefully someday when I have enough guts to go wi...Hopefully someday when I have enough guts to go with this I'll look back to this post! :D <br /><br />Btw, congrats on being SITS BOTD!

(I've traditionally been a technical writer and it's hard to transition to more than listing the facts in chronological order)! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272568404406065685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-89728893401404606732010-08-07T18:41:37.877-05:002010-08-07T18:41:37.877-05:00What a fabulous post.

That is three more then I thought would. My editor is now my friend. Get someone that is not family to edit it for you. Someone that will point out the Bad and good. Now why did I say bad first. If all they say is good good good good good good you’re the best writer in the world and you don't need them. Editors are like books, there’s a few good one, but a lot more bad ones. It’s okay to fire a editor.desk49https://www.blogger.com/profile/05795159954019523527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-41224918755062547632010-08-07T14:35:59.892-05:002010-08-07T14:35:59.892-05:00Now I know where to go when I am ready to start wr...Now I know where to go when I am ready to start writing a book. This is something I have always wanted to do, and I definitely have a lot of characters in my head...or are those just voices?
