...Susan, yep, NaNo can be stressful if you let it.<br /><br />Joylene, it's fun challening myself to write each day and it is helping me to finish something I should have completed a long time ago.<br /><br />Michelle, start preparing yourself at least a couple of months out. It's not as stressful when you have a plan. <br /><br />Thanks, Dolorah!<br /><br />Ella, it's soooo important not to take it too seriously. Then, it's no fun.<br /><br />Me too, Theresa. I dunno if it's age or a slower brain or what, but I can't seem to write more than 3,000 words in a day even if I have the entire day free to do it.<br /><br />Hope it's going well, Jemi. I'm loving it too.Haven't won in ages, but I do get off to a great start with a new project.<br /><br />SF, planning and action work well for NaNo and any other writing projects we take on.<br /><br />FB, thanks for weighing in.

I am a different kind of writer now, so I don't think I could do it.<br /><br />My writer friend Robyn wrote her 50k in about 11 days and is now on her second NaNo. I'm in awe!
