I also have to do far more than my share around the house in November because I'm married to a professor, and he's always snowed under with school stuff at this critical time of the semester. <br /><br />Your private writing time commitment sounds perfect and so much more doable.

I'm not sure how I managed it in 2010 & 2011, but I did just what you described and continued to keep blogging regularly. I guess I could do that again, but I'm not sure it's worth for me right now. But I'd encourage anyone to do the November novel write at least once.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-77306531831142540542014-11-05T10:44:23.089-06:002014-11-05T10:44:23.089-06:00I finally officially entered NaNo, and I must say,...I finally officially entered NaNo, and I must say, it's pretty awesome to see how much I'm writing day by day. I've always been all about writing stories, not counting words, but having a constant running tally of my progress really gives me a feeling of accomplishment. In years past, I've started books during November, but not as part of NaNo. My reasoning was that I knew they wouldn't be only 50K, though now I know the book doesn't need completed by the end of the month, only the first 50K written.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-29913313528792160562014-11-05T09:53:10.114-06:002014-11-05T09:53:10.114-06:00Ready for the Realms Faire!
