It's got bits of everything in it--writing fresh work to editing my Nano work to submitting and blogging--which is the key for me. Keep up the good work--your productivity inspires me :) You’re one of the best morning Twitter writing buddies a girl could ask for :) And I imagine, in some way, it could be worked for your three-book series.

It looks like it's working for you as well, very exciting. I'm mulling the 10-week system and wondering if it can be applied to my three-book series. They're already roughed out. Hrm. Definitely some potential. I was approaching with much looser goals. This may hold the key. You will keep blogging about your progress, I hope? I know it will continue to go well. You're one of the most dedicated writers I know. Take care, Jessica Great system, Beth. It looks like it’s working for you as well, very exciting.

When you're feeling great in the beginning, you should take advantage of it and go all out, because you never know when a cold or flu might be lurking just around the bend to rob you of your steam. Incidentally, I won with 71K+, my highest word count to date...and it's not quite finished! :D I started out strong, then got sick in the third week, so I’d have to say that Nanowrimo taught me to start out strong.

Love that word! Filing it away in my vocab bank. I rarely ever follow an outline. I start one and then usually give up after the first few lines. I normally hve a place to start, something in the middle, and a rough end. Everything else is total pantsers! Best of luck withNanoWriMo! I’m a total pantser! Love that word!
