But I've told myself I'll use the little time I have to rewrite and polish old stuff and send it out.

The opposite is true for me... :)<br /><br />Tricia - NaNo is a mental workout, that's for sure! :) And it definitely wasn't easy to switch from full edit mode to full freewrite mode. My brain protested much in that transition. :)<br /><br />Michelle - yay!!! That's awesome!!! I'm glad you're ignoring the lack of quality, because you're absolutely right. You can revise crap, but you can't revise a blank page. :)<br /><br />Christine - hope everyone is feeling better soon!! I keep hearing so many people coming down with the flu and such. I'm waiting for it to hit my kids' school, and then I will be out for the count...<br /><br />Lauren - that's great!!! Keep on going, and you're sure to reach your goal!! :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-74830226319999294612009-11-05T13:00:02.441-06:002009-11-05T13:00:02.441-06:00I actually started mine a week or so before Nano s...I actually started mine a week or so before Nano so I had 8,000 already written. HOWEVER, I'm not an official nanowrimo-er...i'm simply trying to get 50,000 at least done this month...so I'll have close to 6,000 by the end of november. it really is hard. i've been trying to write like crazy, but i'm almost to 17,000 words!!<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-79490157457337709872009-11-05T11:24:41.637-06:002009-11-05T11:24:41.637-06:00We've had sickness in the house.

I haven't even hit 4K yet - but I'll get caught up.

If I have nothing written then there's nothing to revise. :)Michelle Sussmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107477002733143764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401296522737471037.post-29335998703154095732009-11-05T09:13:22.923-06:002009-11-05T09:13:22.923-06:00This is my first year to NaNo, and it is a strange...This is my first year to NaNo, and it is a strange and interesting experience. I am at 8,322 words so I am on target, but it is hard to push so relentlessly. I'm impressed you can jump from edits to marathon writing like this.Tricia J.

At least the Thanksgiving break will help speed up the process!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.com
