Been a little preoccupied with my recovering little guy. :D<br /><br />Thanks, Tina, he's doing great!!!!<br /><br />Jennifer - it's the best writing book ever, right?<br /><br />Kate - I used to be like that never finished a book until after I heard Anne speak. I was too paralyzed. What I love most about writing is that it's not HOW you get there, just as long as you DO. :D<br /><br />Bonnee - haha, nope, no crappy first draft meme that I know about. ;)<br /><br />AmuseMe - I've won NaNo before too. Such a great kick in the pants!!!<br /><br />Deena - it's great, but I'm accountable to no one but myself, so sometimes it's too easy to fudge deadlines. ;)Megg Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186437652660111801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-46203132011738025602012-03-03T07:36:57.838-08:002012-03-03T07:36:57.838-08:00It's awesome that the deadline for Sleepers #2...It's awesome that the deadline for Sleepers #2 is your own.

I've had a great time doing NaNoWriMo a couple of times and love the storyline I finished, doing 50,000 in 30 days. It was a lot of fun too.amuse mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107288250737832143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-78643286334241387612012-03-03T01:05:09.835-08:002012-03-03T01:05:09.835-08:00This is the second blog entry I've read about ...This is the second blog entry I've read about the first draft and just getting it out on paper today! Is there something going on in the writing community that I don't know about??

I'm not very good myself at turning off my internal editor, so my first drafts are slow. Several times a week, I have to take a deep breath and say, "It's a first draft already! Just get it down!"Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-49723286201897679632012-03-02T14:28:14.903-08:002012-03-02T14:28:14.903-08:00I'm a big fan of BIRD BY BIRD also!
