More than the words, I've figured out a lot of the story in a short amount of time. I know the holidays start in November and it is a busy month for everyone, and last year I flaked because of that and didn't finish. This year I have the bones and a lot of the meat for a novel I am very excited about. Thanks for the kind words.Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513930284591250364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-76299068538057082322012-11-14T12:13:56.941-08:002012-11-14T12:13:56.941-08:00Every year, I want to do Nano, but November is one...Every year, I want to do Nano, but November is one of my busy months. I'm up to my eyes in essays and helping students to transfer our of the community college. It's twelve to fifteen hour days and I dream of how I'll be able to do more than just work in a month. My heart is with you Cora.

I've gone through many burnt pots in my long writing life. I have to have a whistling kettle for the tea because I've ruined a few of those pots, plus the electric burners underneath. Good luck reaching your goal of 50,000 words. I admire you for taking on that challenge!
