With my other project (Holiday Story Exchange) due soon, I'm slightly derailed. I will be back to work on it soon, though.

Those who don't live in the States also wonder why the name isn't changed to International Novel Writers Month, as it is truly a global event and National means only the States.<br /><br />I managed 54000 words. A great motivation to write despite the other demands on us.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064125998898504251.post-37878836436425474882011-11-30T08:11:21.498-06:002011-11-30T08:11:21.498-06:00Steve: Thanks.

Like you there were a few nights where I thought I just could not write one more word. Others, they flew. I have about 5,000 words to write and I know I can do it. I"ve written 2,000 words already today and I'm tempted to do more. On the other hand, I kind of like the idea of crawling up to the finish line and completing the challenge in the very nick of time. More drama, maybe? Like there isn't enough in real life?<br />I hope your daughter is feeling better soon and I sincerely hope you finish that novel when you say you're going to. BEST of LUCK! Now you can really enjoy the holidays that are coming up!Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064125998898504251.post-9371706655143916692011-11-27T12:24:31.341-06:002011-11-27T12:24:31.341-06:00Congrats on hitting the Nano target - and all the ...Congrats on hitting the Nano target - and all the best for bringing that novel home before too long.<br /><br />And the line is from a John Lennon solo track - Beautiful Boy: http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/john_lennon/beautiful_boy_darling_boy.htmldan powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131553102349479513noreply@blogger.com
