Awesome accomplishment!<br /><br />I'm with you on sparing Zoomboy the misery that comes with being different. Louiz makes a good point that someday different will be cool, but not today.Galadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246042661575565455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-44218824692331466542010-12-04T17:56:15.948-08:002010-12-04T17:56:15.948-08:00LOVE the pic for the new story. Getting something ...LOVE the pic for the new story. Getting something chapter by chapter is a bit like getting ONE crack-laced cookie at a time. You go crazy when its gone, you cant wait to get the next one lol<br />BTW WOW that is a lot of writing for just one month.DecRainKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992322635823740922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-21339168189691800622010-12-04T12:43:10.549-08:002010-12-04T12:43:10.549-08:00Yay on the NaNo milestone:)
We don't have SAT...Yay on the NaNo milestone:)<br /><br />We don't have SATs here, but I understand they're kind of important over there, fingers crossed for T.<br /><br />And yeah, being different is never good until your peers are old enough to see that different can be interesting or cool. Until then it's hell.Louizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691100508790921779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-81642206737986007972010-12-04T09:46:26.513-08:002010-12-04T09:46:26.513-08:00Congrats on finishing the novel!!

You don't have time to fret and re-write and twizzle every thought and sentence and that's the whole point. You just write, write, write, and some of it is BOUND to be crap, but at the end of the month you have something that has the bones of a novel and you - have - done it!! I wish more people would give themselves permission to just write crap once in a while. You need to get it out of your system for one thing. And you need to learn how esy it is to throw away. AND, you need to unchain your muse and let her dance her own dances. And YOU, Amy, have no trouble at all with any of this. I'm preaching to the choir here.<br /><br />I see people at the writer's conference taking class after class after class, for years and years, and never actually writing anything. The way to be a good writer is to write. There aren't enough classes in creation to produce an award-winning novel if you never actually write it.<br /><br />Yeah, that weekly feedback thing is sooo addictive! You will shoehorn words onto the page with one hand while brushing the kid's hair with the other.<br /><br />Hoorah for the end of soccer!<br /><br />Our local mall has a free playspace, kind of like an indoor park without grss. Some moms I know take the kids down there just to get them out of the house and into contact with other kids.Is there a similar place in your area you could go with the squish? You could compose stories in your head, knit like a madwoman, and let her socialize to her heart's content. She will, of course, encounter a wide selection of kids and get exposed to every germ that's going around, but she will gain in strength and immunity thereby, and get early practice in ruling the world.roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.com
