I have THREE that I need to finish as get submitted. Plus THREE more that I've started and will be working on when the first three are off in submissionland. Next year ... maybe next year I can think about new stuff. -------------------- ~ JoElle ~ ~ JoElle's Website ~ ~ Earth Horoscopes ~

I just don't know where and how to start. What about if your novel rquires research? Do you just "write around" that and fill it in later? Sounds challenging. A challenge is something I could use.

You can plan ahead but no writing until the first. Naturally it'll just be a very bad rough draft but it's word on the page and that's a good thing. -------------------- Persistance is the hard work you do after you have finished doing the hard work you already did.

Loux...

Check out NaNoWriMoand then join us. But basically, the goal is to write a 50k novel during the month of Nov. You can plan ahead but no writing until the first.

Naturally it'll just be a very bad rough draft but it's word on the page and that's a good thing.

I did NaNo three years in a row.

The one of the books in my YA series is a NaNo novel.

I just typed away for the 30 days ... then I went back after November to finish up, edit, and polish.

It is tons of fun.
