Nano is all about letting go and proving to yourself that you can write a novel from beginning to middle to end. That is the exercise - nothing else matters. <br /><br />Kristi - Your welcome, I know I have more, but will have to remember back to my NaNo days to see if I can conjure them up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370670423819447249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-79032661559122265792009-10-21T10:23:41.352-04:002009-10-21T10:23:41.352-04:00Angelia,

I guess I'd just rather drag my feet through the mud and finish a little later...but maybe I can 'pretend' participate?

Thank you very much for adding to it :-) I really can't wait... not only to write a book..somewhat coherent..but to simply enjoy writing what flows again. I'm slowly getting back into that feeling.

If you don't know what to write - just start typing about your characters or the setting, etc. Could be something like - shoot, I don't know what to do about this plot hole, Jinny is afraid of water so how am I gonna get her to jump in the lake, this is a problem, a problem that I will fix LATER, onto next scene starting now.....Jinny is already in the water...<br /><br />Other tricks of the trade. Give your characters two word names. Brahahahaha Three word names are even better. Amazing how that word count just climbs. Take out out all I'm, don't, won't, can't. Compounds and contractions are your enemy. They are evil, evil, evil. Any thing that turns two words into one must be avoided at all costs!!!! Grammar is not your friend!!!! <br /><br />Have fun with NaNo!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370670423819447249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-4849303816284359642009-10-20T10:06:59.541-04:002009-10-20T10:06:59.541-04:00Oy.

I know I might not make 50,000 words, but it will be fun anyway.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-2804660744889465492009-10-20T06:00:40.588-04:002009-10-20T06:00:40.588-04:00Kristi,
Thank you for the bucketful of information...Kristi,<br />Thank you for the bucketful of information. This is incredible. Now, I have a couple of questions for you:<br />One... first, I'd like to thank you for the great award... how do I get the award onto my blog? I can't figure out where to paste it.<br />::Yaya is still carrying it around the room, trying to tack it up onto the wall, but it just won't stick::<br />Second, how did you get those awesome stickers for your blog? You know the ones; '... UNTIL NANOWRIMO BEGINS' and 'NANOWRIMO PARTICIPANT'... those?<br />Thanks, again, for the award. I can hardly wait to hang it on my Blog wall. ~ Yaya<br /><br />http://yayashome.blogspot.comYaya' s Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766073744832801633noreply@blogger.com
