Anyone else here doing NaNoWriMo? I'm posting my novel to my live journal at www.cascadingmoondust.com .
I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2

I'm doing NaNoWriMo too, but I haven't been posting exerpts. Mostly because my novel is crap. <g> But hey, it's practice.  Julie

I'm pretty sure my novel is unpublishable in its current state, but like you said, it's practice.

Think there might be a thread about here somewhere on it, Emily (although not sure where). I know quite a lot of our authors are participating. LabRat
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Hey, Emily... Yeah, I think Lynn, CC & Yvonne are NaNoing along with Julie. Some of the rest of us are doing NaFinWipsMo instead  PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Yep, I'm doing the NaNo thing which is why I've been around even less than usual on the boards. I only just broke the 10K barrier so I think we can safely say I'm not going to win NaNo.  I would say, though, that if it weren't for NaNoWriMo, I would never have discovered that I can write non-L&C fiction. I'd recommend it to anyone who's ever wondered, like I did, whether my writing ability was forever stuck in the world of flying men and tights. Yvonne

I'm beginning to think that my writing ability is stuck in spandex and plucky reporters. Most of those who have participated in this November writing exercise have written more on their stories in the month than I have the entire year. But I'm not bitter, really I'm not  It's not that I don't have ideas, I do. It's mostly that I never feel motivated to write... or maybe I'm just lazy. Tank (who finds it a lot easier to just sit back and try to keep up with all the new story parts on the boards)
