Nope. I'd have found her anyway - I was seized with this idea almost a year ago, and I had to take some notes and then force myself to set it aside so I could finish my current project. This idea was so strong that I'd have found my character either way. Though Nano helped me find her quicker. :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-36911570474064772832008-11-23T14:44:00.000-06:002008-11-23T14:44:00.000-06:00I'm sorry to hear it's taken so long to get the fl...I'm sorry to hear it's taken so long to get the flu out of your house! I hope Thanksgiving week is infinitely better for you.<BR/><BR/>If you found a great character with a great voice, you've already gotten super benefit from NaNo. Now I'd love to know -- do you think NaNo BROUGHT you the character? Or would you have gotten her anyway?Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-80641376613311962932008-11-23T10:16:00.000-06:002008-11-23T10:16:00.000-06:00Thank you all for your well wishes!

It's so nice to have a cheering crowd behind you... :)<BR/><BR/>My oldest son is home all next week (his school is closed), but he's not showing any signs of catching the flu. So I'm hoping I can grab some writing time here and there. At the very least, I'm going to follow Laurie Halse Anderson's advice and target fifteen minutes per day. :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-28658718048711265022008-11-23T05:21:00.000-06:002008-11-23T05:21:00.000-06:00What you have written is the thing to remember.

I worked on outlining in and I have the start of something I'm excited about!

((((((hugs))))) <BR/><BR/>But I"m so glad you're enjoying your character. That's the real point of NaNo anyway, isn't it? That you're getting a new idea out and loving it. What good is 50,000 words if you aren't loving it? <BR/><BR/>Way to go for plugging along, despite the obstacles!!! YOu go girl!<BR/><BR/>ChristyC.R.
