Big hi-five for sharing your goals online. The best advice I ever got was to lock myself in a silent room and not take the pen off the paper for 30 minutes…even if you just doodle swirly lines every thirty seconds. It works – trust me, from one recovering perfectionist to another. Can’t wait to pick up your book!

that is totally going on my goals!!
Bring on November 1st!!!!

I also read recently ‘Pen on Fire’, love it! Its all about taking those lil 10 min gaps of time you have and using them for writing. I try to write on my 10 min bus ride to work and found it works well.

Thanks so much hun! I’ll be adding you to my buddylist soon

~Let the writing begin~

I highly recommend. This will be my third year participating in the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-write-a-novel-in-30-days extravaganza that begins on November 1st.

Talk about scary? Day 6 when you’re behind on your word count and you’ve already told the world that you’re going to write a novel in 30 days (even with Thanksgiving in the middle). But man, does it feel good when you’ve finished.

Check it out. It might just be the kick in the tail that you need to get started. Definitely buy the book No Plot, No Problem!. It’s the bible to 30-day noveling. If you buy it from that link you’ll get an autographed copy from Chris Baty himself. And if you decide to take the plunge, add me to your noveling buddies… I’ll help you along the way.
