Many people have influenced my writing career. My goal with this blog is to provide useful information that may help others in the pursuit of their dreams. Along the way, I'll share my experiences in the development of getting my novel published. I love to hear your comments and suggestions, so don't be shy. We all have something to share. (Contests and submmissions are posted as a courtesy to my readers. Please do your due diligence in researching these opportunities.)

Day 11, 12, 13 NaNoWriMo

The last three days have gone by in a fog.
Day 11 - I spent with my friend Barb, who I am so thankful chooses to spend her Wednesdays with me. It's like having a free therapist and getting to each lunch all at once. Let's hear it for good friends who listen even when you rant and rave... :) Word count for Wednesday was 2002.
Day 12 - Critique day. Yep, after the gym and critique, I managed to squeeze out only 1586. But I noticed the word count widget is working. Yeah, NaNoWriMo gadget gurus. Thanks. don't ask me what the colors mean. I tried to figure it out thinking it was days I hit a target were one color and days I didn't were another color. And what's the thirds color. Anyway, that's not it. So if anyone can enlighten me, please do so. It's driving me crazy.
Day 13 - I am struggling mightily. I'm ready to kill off my main character and throw her love interest off a bridge. Sometime this week I totally abandoned my linear process and jumped write into writing out of sequence big time. I swore I wouldn't do that this year, but I did. I'll have to work on the linking scenes when my brain isn't so muddled. Word count today is 3003.

You go girl! (is that comment passe' now?!) Also, yes, I love my girl friends who are also therapists, and comedians, etc.etc.
In fact, aren't most REAL friends like that? We women know how to be "real" with each other. I always know immediately if I've discovered a new friend....and you are included!
Passe' or not. I love it.
Thanks for the encouragement.
