I've never noticed much quality difference between during nano and off-season-nano writing, but then again 2k a day is the norm for me when I'm really into it.<br /><br />And welcome!

And they don't want to feel responsible for that, so they just marginalize you off to the side so they don't have to look at you and feel guilty.<br /><br />I dunno. I've never got more than 1000 words into NaNo and it was already junk, so what do I know?<br /><br />Hey! It's my first time here ... found you on Rachael Harrie's Notice Board and the title of your blog lured me. I notice that you must take procrastination very seriously, if you finish 50k in 30 months! That's actually doable! ~wink~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683131833776335627.post-34951890345159723402011-10-16T08:36:58.483-07:002011-10-16T08:36:58.483-07:0050k in a month is serious business no matter how y...50k in a month is serious business no matter how you slice it.Dan Schwenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430857663521602751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683131833776335627.post-62219603962714255572011-10-16T08:32:11.690-07:002011-10-16T08:32:11.690-07:00Apparently it has to do with ~the adventurous spir...Apparently it has to do with ~the adventurous spirit~ or whatever the buzz phrase of the week is, lol. Somebody tried explaining that it was like WIPs are too serious or something. Man, I have no idea. I was too busy going "wut".Hildred Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995415129197042871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683131833776335627.post-54852838534836007282011-10-16T08:28:30.649-07:002011-10-16T08:28:30.649-07:00I'd give you a sarcastic pat on your rebel hea...I'd give you a sarcastic pat on your rebel head right now if I didn't think you'd bite my hand off and spit it back in my face.<br /><br />Even though I always start something new, I don't see what the difference is between resuming a WIP or starting something new. 50k in a month is still a huge undertaking.Dan Schwenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430857663521602751noreply@blogger.com
