I hope you find your rhythm & get some good progress happening!<br /><br />@Julie - excellent!! Well done! I'm sure the 5k you cut was not needed and the new stuff WAS. I've been there lots of times. It is painful to see words added though, at least if you started with too many. Good luck!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-68822380493341912972011-11-04T12:27:16.068+08:002011-11-04T12:27:16.068+08:00I'm doing the NaNoRevMo thing.

We'll see.<br /><br />I might as well throw my outline out the window. I'd gone off track before I finished the first sentence.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-19622396096088447782011-11-04T08:31:31.473+08:002011-11-04T08:31:31.473+08:00Thanks everyone!

Sometimes it's probably better not to calculate what you need & just let the writing flow.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-83631585610275560202011-11-04T05:56:52.314+08:002011-11-04T05:56:52.314+08:00Exciting!

You're Trisha (the equivalent to awesome)--it's almost guaranteed you'll catch up. And you just gotta love those stubborn witty characters, right? ;) Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-68091156929553974672011-11-04T04:44:23.577+08:002011-11-04T04:44:23.577+08:00True story relating to the unpredictability of cha...True story relating to the unpredictability of characters; for last year's NaNo, I wanted my female MC and my male MC to get married. Eventually. Then suddenly the MMC pops the question in chapter two before I could stop him, and next thing I know the FMC turns him down and it's sad faces all around. They never did get together. She died a heroic death via laser rifle. He's still single.

I am at about 6000--should get another 1000-1500 in before the day is over, as I know exactly what is coming next and I have not yet left work. I have several commitments tonight, but SHOULD have about 2 hours writing time.<br /><br />Good luck with catching up, and GREAT JOB so far!
