[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I haven’t given up yet folks, although I’ve been sorely tempted as I watch that little purple bar climb further and further away from my little blue wordcount bars. I’ve been writing consistently, but not as quickly as I need to. I’m 10k behind with a trip looming in less than […]
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] It happens every NaNo. You get to that point in your novel (this year it was chapter 2 for me) where you hate it. It’s crap. With stupid characters that you don’t like doing stupid things that you don’t approve of, in a world as flat as that sheet of paper
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] Well, as you can see by the widget on my sidebar I’m not caught up yet, but I am feeling better about NaNo. I became a little worried this weekend when I still hadn’t made 1667 a day – never mind catching up – but I seem to have found a

I’m ready to start writing finally, so I’ve decided to make it this year’s NaNo Project. And its name is Book of Souls.
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] As my regular followers know I’m the ML for the Charleston, SC region of NaNoWriMo. This will be my third year MLing, my sixth year participating in NaNo, and (hopefully) my sixth year winning. Last year we had a sudden growth spurt in my region, prompting me to try to beat
