Th...Jen, I'm not sure if I will do NaNoWriMo again. The good part is, I now have kind-of a novel and something to work with. The bad part is, it requires a lot of editing, and pantser that I am, I may throw a lot out. <BR/><BR/>The important thing to learn from NaNoWriMo is you have to write SOMETHING, even if it's terrible. I rewrite a lot anyway. But I have to write before I can rewrite.<BR/><BR/>Joanna, thanks. Turning off the internal editor is difficult. But since I rewrite so much, I'm probably better off writing something, anything, than sitting there doing nothing.Linda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-28409632577177603262008-12-02T09:02:00.000-05:002008-12-02T09:02:00.000-05:00Congratulations, Linda!

I've never participated in NaNo because I write too slowly and am too particular--can't seem to turn off my internal editor--but I admire those who do! They seem to accomplish so much as you have demonstrated.Joanna Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053211782268427159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-76495284747742021542008-12-02T05:38:00.000-05:002008-12-02T05:38:00.000-05:00Hi Linda, do you think - now NaNoWriMo is over - t...Hi Linda, do you think - now NaNoWriMo is over - that writing like this helps you? Will you do it again? Is it something you can build into your regular writing life, or simply too all consuming?<BR/>Jen<BR/>http://jenblackauthor.blogspot.comJen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628305777383099281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-84038497923051082122008-11-30T16:55:00.000-05:002008-11-30T16:55:00.000-05:00Thanks, Helen.You finished, too.
