I don't have something new I want to start right now (I have plenty new to start, but don't want to throw in right now), but I have a lot I want to accomplish and want to use the month to get jump started after some slow going.<br /><br />Both books sound interesting. Will you be posting your progress on your blog?Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-90605782595936703902011-10-28T09:22:49.960-04:002011-10-28T09:22:49.960-04:00Good luck with the two novels.

So cool!<br /><br />And I totally think you can write both books in the month. I believe in you!<br /><br />Also, I'm an underwriter as well. ALWAYS have to beef my stories up later. I'm doing NaNo! We can cheer each other along :)ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-12895576793059356182011-10-26T19:26:47.409-04:002011-10-26T19:26:47.409-04:00Woo, good luck on the NaNoing!!

I realize blogging will be sporadic or less during the month, but I hope you share with us how it's going! <br /><br />My Nano name is _trixie_. Let's find each other! (BTW, is the friends function up yet on the new site?)<br /><br />The fastest I've ever completed a novel? I usually finish before Thanksgiving, so maybe 3 weeks?

I'm hoping by the end of this year to have two more novels done. But one is MG so at the most, it'll probably only be 45K. Definitely makes it more manageable for me.Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.com
