NaNo

I’m doing it again this year and this year…I’m writing just to write. I suppose that is how we are supposed to do it but I like the idea of writing things ‘right’ from the beginning. Of course it has taken me three years to figure out…I can’t do that.

:-)

And having finally not only come to realize this but accepted it, accepted the fact that no matter how hard I try I’m going to be rewriting the entire thing…I’m free to write crap! Yippee!!!! Of course I ‘think’ as I always do that the first copy is marvelous and spectacular and award winning writing that is just going to floor everyone.

:-)

Yep, that’s the truth. I do. Even this time. I think what I’ve written is really, really cool.

I know. Crazy. But, hey, we all have our fantasies.

:-)

And at least I’m having fun.

So anyhow, I’m inviting you to join two different groups specifically for connecting, sharing and having fun while participating in NaNo this year.

First is for Rain–She has a brand new website - www.crystalrainlove.com - she has a forum you can join and is going to have lots of contests and give aways specifically for Nano! Check it out!

The second is for me - I’m keeping things very simple this year. It seems I have friends on every group out there doing nano and keeping track is impossible.  So I decided to create a yahoo group that is simple, informal and just a way to centralize. With yahoo the email comes right to your inbox and the group is open to all, so if I know you from facebook, twitter, RWA or one of the groups here in Iowa or one of the many other groups out there…we can all meet in one place. Simple. It should be a small group but you are all welcome.

Here is the link:

Hope to ’see’ you all there!

I’m doing Nano too, Cole. So far I have 1 paragraph. :( I’m having a hard time turning off the internal editor. I”m not sure why. Good luck!

not being a fictional writer-I tend to write on all the subjects that interest me. Of course, I don’t get paid my worth (who does???), but I love the writing, the learning and the comments from the articles that do get published and enjoyed!
and again, isn’t that what writing, of any kind, is all about?

Comments Are Loved!
