BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Mystery Books Have You Signed Up for NaNoWriMo Yet?

No, I'm slowing down all of a sudden. Need to catch up real quick!!! Doing a lot of writing, just not for NaNo.

How are you doing? Are you glad you signed up?

I was doing great, even with a family reunion to write around. Then it happened. On monday I fell while walking the dog. Flat on my face. Broken arm. The right one. Can barely type this. Guess that's that foe NaNoWriMo for me.

Dear Edie -

It's natural to go through highs and lows when writing, and I think part of what NaNoWriMo trains us to do is how to push through those slow times. We might be fired up for a while, then ease off for a while. Somehow we find a rhythm that sustains us and moves us forward.

It does help to write ahead when you can, to buffer for those slow times!

Dear Maeve -

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! What a time to have an injury like that! I'm glad to hear you are all right. Your arm will heal. That's all right, you had fun for the first half of it, and you have half a story! That's better than no story! You can always finish it up later on when you heal.

You could have some fun training Dragon to learn your vocabulary, and then you'll have a back-up plan for the future!
