All I Want for NaNo ~ blog hop



From November 1-3, J. A. Bennett has been running the All I Want for NaNo blog hop, and here's what it's all about:

"I first heard about NaNoWriMo three years ago shortly after I started blogging. I thought people were nuts for even attempting to write 50k in a month. Yet, I couldn’t pass up the chance to try it out for myself. Since then, I’ve done NaNo (including camp NaNo) 4 times--this November will make 5.
Because of this, I’ve spent a considerable about of time on NaNoWriMo.org, and they’re doing some amazing stuff for people. I have a 14 yr old cousin who went to LTUE last year because NaNo came to his school, and he decided he really liked writing. If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is. 
In these past three years I’ve felt awful for not giving back when NaNo has been doing so much for writers everywhere. That’s why I decided to write an anthology with a few awesome friends and donate all the proceeds to NaNoWriMo." - J. A. Bennett

This blog hop requires that we post what we want for NaNo, and put a buy link to The Spirit of Christmas Anthology, as well as the blog hop code so people can visit all the other blogs that have participated. So, without further ado:

1. What I want for NaNo is to hit 50k once again, and to also keep working on revising my novella. Yeah, I really want to do both!

2. The Spirit of Christmas Anthology  - BUY

3. Here is the list:



Oh, and by the way - there are other prizes being given away, so check out J. A. Bennett's blog for more details!

P.S. It's the start of Day 3 of NaNo, and so far I'm at 5,720 words. I got a slow start because I didn't write anything on Day 1 - circumstances beyond my control! People turning 80, that sort of thing. :D - but I caught up on Day 2, and now it's Day 3 and I have yet to do most of the writing I want to do today.

  4. Hey Trish. Good luck on reaching your 50K. That's all I want too. Then I have to seriously finish these novels! I haven't written as much as you, but I'm happy with my word count. Aiming for 2,000 per day. D

  5. Good for you on your word count. I'm not doing quite as well as I had an editing deadline I have to meet before I can jump in full force. I really hope I can get to my NaNo project soon.

  6. 50k for you is easy-peasy, Trisha! You're the NaNo queen! :)

  7. You can do both! Stay focused and determined.

  8. You'll make it! I admire anyone who does NaNo. I think once I graduate, I can manage it, but with classes, there's no way I could reach 50k. Instead, I'll just keep a little list of goals for myself. :)

  9. You're off to a great start. I haven't really gotten much done. Or any. But this weekend was a little busy. Tomorrow I'll get some in.

    Good luck!

  10. You are rocking the word count for Nano. Good job! Sounds like you will get everything you wanted and more. Great giving spirit, too, with the anthology.

  12. I have failed at NaNo every time I have tried. I'm past caring. At least that's what I tell myself ;)

  13. Not doing NaNo, but that's awesome you're so far ahead after only a few days. ^_^ And all I want for November is to hash out four different plots so I know what to write next year... not asking too much, is it? @_@
