Good luck everyone who joined NaNoWriMo. It's a great exercise in writing discipline.

I've never done this officially, but I did write a trilogy last year between February and May. The first book in the trilogy will be published next year.

I write on my own schedule. When I'm working on a novel, it so consumes me so much nothing else matters. I'll be in that mode later this year because I have the third book in another trilogy that my publisher really wants to see and I haven't a clue what will happen in that one!

Happy Writing.

Okay well I'm down to a bit over 2k of words because in my over enthusiasm this morning I forgot to save stuff so I rewrote. But I think I like my rewrite better. Hope everyone is having fun.

Day 1 - 1659 words. It's clean so far and I wouldn't change a thing.

I started out this way the last couple of times with good, tight writing for the first couple of days. By day 15, it will be jangly and bockety like a shopping cart with a bad wheel but it's the motion that counts, right?

Got close to 3K words down. I think this will be good for me...with school and exams and everything else that gets in the way, I talk myself out of writing. This is good discipline for me to stick with it.
