Caught mention of NaNoWriMo somewhere and guilted myself into participating again. This is the first time I’ve attempted it since I got a full time job. Yay for basically no social life or reading anything for the month of November.
I’m doing pretty well, 12,300 or so words as far as this morning. I’m ahead of the schedule to getting the 50k words done in time, but I can already see that it’s going to be longer. My question now is will I finish the book in the in time. If I do I have the added bonus of it being my book choice for the book club I’m in. Free editing and critique from friends I know don’t read my kind of book.
No pressure.

I see that you’re the top of the list for the SciFi Panel book signing that Powell’s is doing on the 29th of this month. Very cool!

I’m just going to try to do NaBloPoMo – National Blog Posting Month and hope I can do that! Good luck with yours!

Your discipline comment? This made me laugh. I follow you on Twitter, and have seen your Tweets about your general routine. As I was gearing up for this year’s NaNo, I thought, “This is one month of Lili St. Crow’s usual writing life. Only less.”

You doing this is an inspiration!

Just signed up too (better late than never). Now if I can only decide on which of three story ideas to concentrate on… And here I was hoping it would help me focus, LOL.

P.S. Almost finished Strange Angels and loving it! Will pick up Betrayals soon…

Lauren: I would so NOT be offended! Go ahead and add me as a buddy–that’s why I post my NaNo stuff, to show people that working writers can find value in it too. Anything that helps with discipline is good, IMHO.

Good for you! It’s my first year doing NaNo, so I’m terribly excited and terrified all at once. It’s fun stuff.

Good luck with your novel!

Then again, my brain keeps saying “hey if Lili can do it, so can you, you lazy excuse making weenie!”

I almost NaNoed this year, and then life gave me another flaming crisis to juggle… Yay! At this point, I can barely write my name, let alone anythign else. Bleh.

Good luck for NaNo! 3k sounds crazy much, but I’m sure you’ll handle it. I’m participating as well and like Lauren said it’s so nice to see published writers doing this! I hope you win!
