And remember...
Quantity
produces quality. If you only write a few things, you're doomed.
~Ray Bradbury~
But no pressure.

Thanks for the well wishes! My goal is 25,000 words to add to an existing WIP. That should prepare me for the pre-edit read through with my editor!
Lovely to see a Ray Bradbury quote.
Thanks Clarissa - after a sticky start this morning where I changed genre... I managed to get some words done. And good luck Stephen!
PS - yeah - great quote!
Thank you! Still floundering on what exactly I'm writing, but hey. I wrote something.
I'm watching from the sidelines as well. GO NaNo-nites GO!! :)
I'm not participating either. Good luck to everyone who is! :)
Not participating either, but go NaNo people!
GOOD LUCK Clarissa!! You Go Girl!!!!!!!! Take care

Love the quote.

Thanks! I'm also adding to an existing WIP. I'm not an official participant, but Nano's a good motivator. :)
Bradbury's one of my favorites.
Like you, I'm not doing NaNo, partly because I have to write "my way" to echo the late Frank Sinatra! I have to minimize daily pressures as much as possible. and s, like Stephen Tremp, I'll get some good writing done this month on my current memoir ghost-writing project, and also get a novelette and two other true stories up on Smashwords, and maybe Kindle if I can figure it out!
Here's wishing you a happy month, Clarissa, whatever you end up doing!!
Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror, A Memoir of Shattered Secrets
Ha, I do like that quote.
Cheering the participants on as well! :)
ah, the crazy month is near? :)
Thank you!
I love the quote.
Great quote! It's one of my biggest hang ups, and it totally hits the nail on the head for me. :D
I'm not participating this year either. Good luck to everyone all who are.
Clarissa - I'm not doing NaNo, but I wish the best to everyone who is!
