I...I love the idea of the Muse being on a gap year! I'm not a novelist, or even a potential novelist, as I write short fiction and short pieces of non-fiction, (ok, and the odd non-fiction book too!), but the notion f adapting NaNoWriMo to just writing SOMETHING every day is a great one. Will be tweeting this! Thanks for the inspiration.

Have you gone back to your NaNo novels at all with a view to revising/completing them? I'm very impressed that you wrote 50,000 words twice for NaNo! xxLorna Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902741383469719107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874888511895059748.post-44490960013970348662012-11-30T23:08:52.697+00:002012-11-30T23:08:52.697+00:00Great post Lorna.

I have written my 50,000 words for NaNo in the past 2 years (so have 2 unfinished novels sitting there taunting me!)but I didn't do it this year because I am writing a non-fiction book. So guess what - I have felt desperate to write fiction all month and have done little to the non-fiction. Your post is exactly right - NaNo is a great discipline and it is as you say all about allowing yourself the time to sit and write each day, even for a very few minutes.Hope your book gets picked up after all that hard work xSuzie Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597075427033666608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874888511895059748.post-42419703517316736522012-11-30T21:47:02.048+00:002012-11-30T21:47:02.048+00:00Thanks so much for your comment - I'm glad you...Thanks so much for your comment - I'm glad you enjoyed the post, Abiatar.Lorna Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902741383469719107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874888511895059748.post-48054759295012908012012-11-30T13:11:55.300+00:002012-11-30T13:11:55.300+00:00Very good advice.

It's always encouraging to hear a writer (especially an established one) talking about difficulties she encounters, same problems that you can relate to. Then you know it's not easy for anybody, we all meet similar challenges and problems. Like you said, "New ideas and projects are no problem - its keeping the momentum going that's the challenge", I think most people would agree with this. Abiatar Festusnoreply@blogger.com
