I really like the quote about not writing a good book, just a good draft.

Most useful discovery: I write best from late afternoon through about midnight (who knew?). Post-NaNoWriMo gift to self: need to install a new dishwasher. Off to Home Depot, then... I'm sure they'll be able to recognize a working novelist by my stained plumbing jeans.<br /><br />http://www.jaxworx.com/musings/tshirt/Jaxworxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054008228857662149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-5887704565116097692010-11-29T10:28:28.996-08:002010-11-29T10:28:28.996-08:00I'm glad it worked well for you!

The idea of organizing and editing all of this makes my head hurt and I'm pretty sure my plot got the shaft about 10k ago. I made it to over 30k which no complaints, but at the same time I decided I really didn't want to push out another 20k (personally) of words that were going to hit the cutting room floor. All in all though, it was a unique experience and I am def glad I participated.<br /><br />annaangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007118172898489347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-38956142458754795762010-11-29T06:21:41.960-08:002010-11-29T06:21:41.960-08:00Congrats!

It was very exhausting. <br /><br />My reward? Umm...wrapping Christmas presents!

November is a difficult month for me because my kids are off the whole week of thanksgiving and I don't get to write on the weekends. But I will finish before the end of the year, and I'll have a good, solid, working draft. So yay for that! :)<br /><br />Congrats again!!
