Thanks for your feedback and support guys – I appreciate it Even if I don’t “win” Nanowrimo with 50,000 words I am happy to be focusing on a new writing project. I will continue to work on the novel into next year, so we’ll see where it goes!

Hi Jo,

The train is a greatly under-utilised resource. I completed my BA degree with majors in Communications and History on the train! As writers, we must make use of every available chunk of time, especially during our creative times of the day – times we travel to and from the office. Fortunately, I now no longer have to travel as I write full-time from my home office.

Good update! I’d probably have to write up a rough outline before November, otherwise my novel would go nowhere. But I guess that’s part of what NaNoWriMo is all about.

That really stinks that you’re moving houses this month. Moving is stressful enough, but participating in NaNoWriMo must make it even more stressful.

Keep at it, sounds like you’re making definite progress!
