I think in winter, I'm more prone to poetry writing...that has been going well.<BR/><BR/>As for the tips you provided from goldberg and brande...I think those will help me a lot.

The exercises you've described work best for me. <BR/><BR/>I write in the morning quiet, four at least 20 minutes like a journal, then my designated writing time is for my current project.therese patrick, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624202282411832436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-3907758448932016172008-11-20T21:37:00.000-06:002008-11-20T21:37:00.000-06:00I'm good!

I think I could finish tonight if I wanted to (only 2000 or so away) but I'm not feeling well and my real goal is 75,000 anyway, so 50K isn't going to be a big celebration. <BR/><BR/>I'm a write-every-day kind of gal, for about the last year. It's the only thing that's ever done the trick for me. And it's not a certain time of day, but as soon as I wake up, whether that's 4am on work days or 8am on days off. First thing, make coffee, go write. I love it.Rachael Herronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270448844817370210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-45375225982213843892008-11-20T15:09:00.000-06:002008-11-20T15:09:00.000-06:00I can't NaNo. I put too much pressure on myself as...I can't NaNo. I put too much pressure on myself as it is to write M-F all year 'round. Besides, I'm working with my editor at the moment and while in editland, I don't count words.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, wish the very best to all NaNoers!<BR/>:)<BR/>G.Genella deGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129942813842907408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-91551277311495425652008-11-20T09:07:00.000-06:002008-11-20T09:07:00.000-06:00I did not NaNo, but perhaps NaNoers who are stuck ...I did not NaNo, but perhaps NaNoers who are stuck could write, "Today I write" over and over instead of dissing themselves? :) Failing that, there's a quick brown fox who wants to jump over a lazy brown dog they could describe in detail.Jody W. and Meankittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733607365443126784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-63567066822431555272008-11-20T07:52:00.000-06:002008-11-20T07:52:00.000-06:00I've slowed down on Nano because I hit the point w...I've slowed down on Nano because I hit the point where I needed more research for increased authenticity. I'm fine with this - I've written a fair amount this month on an exciting project.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a problem with my inner editor - she takes notes of story arcs,inconsistencies and pacing; and I write on regardless. Telling your subconcious something your inner critic already whispers at you anyway is a stupid strategy - if you hate it that much, go away enjoy yourself, and recharge your batteries; write another day.green_knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499896006012152260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-11142475414176043372008-11-19T19:15:00.000-06:002008-11-19T19:15:00.000-06:00Say...do you suppose you could each sign your post...Say...do you suppose you could each sign your posts?

I'm 7000 words ahead of the pace and I haven't written much at all yet today.<BR/><BR/>I find that I'm very productive in the mornings - in fact, I've been waking up a lot in the 3- to 4 AM range oftener than I'd like, and I figure <I>Well, I'm up, I might as well write before I go in to work</I>.<BR/><BR/>The nice thing about having a job like mine where I don't have to really think about it is that I can think about what I want to write next and mull over plot problems and whatnot all day long, and then when I sit down to implement them later, it's a cakewalk.<BR/><BR/>If you want to read my WIP entitled <I>Pariah's Moon</I>, just <A HREF="ian@ianthealy.com" REL="nofollow">email me</A> and I'll hook you up.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497045412007902460noreply@blogger.com
