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::
MUSINGS 
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.
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…
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.
