Working
Ssshush: I've been working on a new novel, quietly, silently, under the radar. NaNoWriMo was a bust this year for me, only about 7,000 or so words. I wasn't motivated, wasn't having much fun, and wasn't trying too hard. But one of the NaNo pep talk e-mails noted that the best part of NaNo was if you were bored (as I was), to remember to have fun with it and to skip to the next part. If what you were writing wasn't fun, just move on. So I've taken that advice, and am fairly deep into a new novel that is fun. I'll write more about it later, when I get a little further along. Jared and I have a pact to finish our current books by Feb. 29, printed on the table at lunch. Jared's finishing a clean draft of his NaNo novel by then.It's going to be tight, but I think I can get a draft printed by then. I'll try to keep you posted.
