National Novel Writer's Month

I grinned and said, "Atta girl!" when I read your reply. Of course you are good at it! You are just so used to writing, you probably don't see that. There are some who, if asked to write a post care, completely panic.

Write without a plot! Make a collage of scenes. Start your own genre! Create a whole new concept of what a novel is! Screw the rules! Make your own! Write an ADD novel for people with ADD. Let them read great stuff in small amounts.
Let your characters tell one another short stories.

Let a plague hit the ones who aren't producing what you want. Let them all get pregnant and give birth to a whole new set of characters.

I hate writing long things. That's why I am a poet! LOL (shhh! Don't tell!0
My "thing" is condensing, not stretching. This thing is NOT something I wanted to do.

But I like the characters and keep going back to it. I've written every day, but am a day behind in count. (I hate being behind!) This is a lesson in humility surely. Heck! Even my villain is more motivated than I am! LOL!

We can do this thing. I cannot do it alone.
