I’ll be offline for a few days, hibernating with my laptop. I’ll emerge to report my first week’s NaNoWriMo word count early next week. In the meantime I expect my fellow Wrimos will be busy accumulating their own numbers in my absence and my non-NaNo’ing friends will be pursuing all the wonderful weekend things that will make me envious when I hear about them.
::no, that’s not me complaining, just heaving a longing sigh::

Sounds like fun! I’ll look forward to hearing an update when you emerge!

It was fun… while my husband and son worked on some cabin renovation projects I was free to write steadily, stopping only for meals. It’s amazing how the words accumulate when you just keep writing and don’t stop!

But just think, you’ll have a book at the end of the month and they won’t! :0) Have a great weekend!

That’s my hope, Kristen. It’ll be a terribly rough book and in need of much fleshing-out and revision, but I’ll be happy if I can get the basics done.

Happy hibernating! (I do envy you your trip to that particular cave.) Here’s to an abundance of words!

By now you’ll have the photos I sent, which is only second best to being there in person, I know… but maybe next summer? I hope your revisions are going well.

I need that kind of discipline. I keep sitting down to write, then find myself reading others’ blogs instead. Not good.
November 11, 2009 at 3:53 pm |
I’m not sure I’d call it discipline. It’s much easier to devote large chunks of time to writing when there simply aren’t any distractions (except maybe the view… I did take several pictures as I always do there). There’s no telephone, no TV or internet… just solitude. It’s a perfect place to hibernate — my personal writing retreat.

Sometimes it helps to take a break from it all. I’ll be anxious to hear your thoughts on this at months end. You are brave…
November 11, 2009 at 3:54 pm |
Not so brave… probably foolhardy! Who in their right mind throws 50,000 words at a mental wall and hopes they’ll stick?

I’ve made it a point not to comment. Don’t wanna distract ya. Hope it’s going well. Okay – That’s it, leaving now.

Hello and goodbye! Come back anytime.
