I consider it good, since I've been away from blogging, writing and lots of the fun things in life for way too long. <br />And I still like my NaNo project but it could use a little spice, project for next draft.Kathy McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899118869240481737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-22123453188502842162010-12-02T09:41:51.299-06:002010-12-02T09:41:51.299-06:00VR - Enjoy :) I'm glad you're still in lov...VR - Enjoy :) I'm glad you're still in love with your NaNo project.<br /><br />Maryann - Bah! Humbug! Have fun with that old miser.<br /><br />fairyhedgehog - My Novembers are full-up with family goings-on, so there's little hope for me with NaNo, so this is my way of participating - as a cheerleader for all of you. Congrats on getting your words. Now...go find that missing plot!<br /><br />Hart - Great job! The pudding wrestling is over by those two coconut palms if you haven't found it yet.

Where is ...YAY for a party!!! *throws glitterbomb*<br /><br />Where is the pudding wrestling?<br />Taquitos!!! Oh, I LIKE this party!<br /><br />Yes, managed... my goal was not just the finished 50K but a solid first draft. I think the genre I chose helped, as it currently sits at 56K and I have a couple story threads to add in at revision, so it should end up at a sweet 70K when it is filled out, but there aren't GAPING holes (my last two WriMos have had them). Mystery seems to be easier for me to follow a PLAN, and this was a YA mystery, so very slightly less dark and complicated...<br /><br />Thanks for the mimosa!Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-22530443944116819652010-12-02T02:12:40.672-06:002010-12-02T02:12:40.672-06:00I did NaNoWriMo and scraped out 50k words.

A minor detail (!) but one I'd like to sort out.<br /><br />So, I'll enjoy the snacks and chocolate in here and say a big thank you!
