To keep up the momentum, I am now writing every day working on short stories. Just sent the third one off to my critique group. NaNo helped me get back to writing and my purpose for writing. Good luck with your revisions.Pat Marinellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-87478009432721826172014-12-03T21:44:38.343-08:002014-12-03T21:44:38.343-08:00Thank you on both counts, Diane!Thank you on both counts, Diane!Marie Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422636765580836358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-930894623475403942014-12-03T21:44:20.270-08:002014-12-03T21:44:20.270-08:00Sharon- my NaNo virgin!!!

After finishi...Oh, Marie, I know of what you speak. After finishing NaNo, I haven't written a thing....Wait...Yes, I've written about a thousand words worth of critiques, since my month of writing got me a "Danger Will Robinson" email from my critique group. Concentrating on writing for myself, I forgot about helping others. Still have to get a few critiques done for the group to get back in their good graces, but when I'm caught up, I need to do some serious editing on those 50,059 words I wrote during NaNo. Three days after it's over and I go to bed thinking - What? No word count for today?Sharon Rivesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973226291032550889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-71363333417057850152014-12-03T15:51:46.478-08:002014-12-03T15:51:46.478-08:00Congratulations on winning NaNo!
