You just have to get the 50K words down. If you need a NaNo buddy to get you going, give me a buzz.<br /><br />As for the post, this is a great answer. I completely know what you're talking about where you wrote a page or less and then the momentum just fell off. That happens to me a lot. I have found that if I think about an idea for a couple weeks before putting it to paper, I usually have a lot more solidified. Of course, that doesn't qualify for this kind of writing. Probably this stuff only works for short bursts before even us pantsters have to some kind of organized thinking.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823808700523297184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-15139121323573692102011-04-18T10:01:00.811-05:002011-04-18T10:01:00.811-05:00I never tried the NanoWrimo.

I do this with creative writing groups and sometimes just on my own. It frees up the pen and encourages writers to lose their writing inhibitions.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.com
