You know somewhere online they sell posters and stuff with this quote on it. No lie. Someone sent it to me and asked if it was really me. Yep. I wrote that on PBW. My fourteen years of online fame, distilled into 21 words.
Could be worse. They could have snatched something from that dilemma post I wrote about the Albino Robin Hood cover. I always thought that was me at my finest hour.
Anyway -- onto how it's going with NaNoWriMo. I caught up on day two and did well, I think. I'm starting to get back into Nex's head -- or centracore, if you prefer -- and pick up where I left off in her adventures. I also wrote a bit of backstory about Navara in the intro to Chapter Nine, which I thought came out well. Everything seems to be falling into place. Since I also got my day job done and vacuumed all the rugs in the house and made dinner, I think it was a productive day. Now if I can just keep that going for another 27 days . . . .
How are you doing, Theo? I think we're all alone this time around. :)

I think we might be alone as well. It's okay. I took a couple years off of Nano so this is good for me. :)
And I'm all caught up on Nex. I re-read it last night, as far as you'd gotten then. I really am fascinated with this story. I like Nex. I even Like Navara. :) It's been fun getting to know them both again.
I'm at 17K more or less but I didn't really edit the in-between (you can tell) so I think I'll pause today and make my first pass edit through that section. Then I can keep going without that niggling poking to fix stuff. I'll be okay enough to not worry about it for now.
I'm thinking with the encouragement you've been giving me, I might just get this one finished :)
It's good for me, too. I realized this morning that this is the first time I've written something just for fun since I went freelance. Almost five years.
I think your editing strategy is a good one. Those niggling doubts can be a big distraction.
I'm cheering you on to finish this one. It's definitely a strong story.
I love this quote. I think a lot of writers like to scratch, never quite reaching the itch.
Good luck on NaNo
Thanks, Maria. Good luck with Nana and the new puppy!
