Sometimes it is just damn hard. Anything that gets the story going again is valuable. Congrats on getting it moving again. Do I get to read it when it's done? I really liked the first one I read! I'd be curious to see how this one uses elements of that.Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-61272113021388497942012-12-05T15:39:30.865-05:002012-12-05T15:39:30.865-05:00Scott, Yeah.

Nige...Scott, Yeah. It's the momentum, I guess.<br /><br />Nigel, Thanks.<br /><br />Anon, Right. And then the next month the sculptor can pick up the pieces and paste them so that they make an elephant.Steve Weddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876211586767139613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-13417036035690822662012-12-05T11:26:16.854-05:002012-12-05T11:26:16.854-05:00I've never been much of a fan of the 'just...I've never been much of a fan of the 'just go make some words, no matter how bad and no matter how much you ate them" school. To me, that's like pointing a sculptor toward a block of marble with a chisel and saying "Just start chipping away. Some sort of shape will show up."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-47759301980869556102012-12-05T11:10:42.586-05:002012-12-05T11:10:42.586-05:00Honest and well put, I'm keen enough to go ove...Honest and well put, I'm keen enough to go over to look at the sample. And I might not care hugely (in the grand scheme of things) whether it works and gets out to be viewed one day, but I do hope that it does. I also love the idea of that less-racy aspect. Go eat turkeys instead of cornflakes.Nigel Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529578665251906089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-38687481016690118502012-12-05T10:38:38.340-05:002012-12-05T10:38:38.340-05:00YES!

True, I haven't written much *every day,* the book is in my head. I'm thinking about it in the shower, eating a snack, driving around town, etc. Glad I'm not the only one who "won" by doing NaNoWriMo.Scott D.
