Believe me, I keep thinking but as yet have found the flickering gem that could light my fire for more than a few minutes let alone an entire month non-stop. <br /><br />I do think it's admirable to write everyday and I actually think it's a great idea. But, posting something everyday is just too much. People find it a turn off unless you've got such an enormous site like the Pioneer Woman. I'm not sure if the rest of us are that interesting.When Pigs Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930564541028569091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-74807800059187177522012-11-05T08:11:37.046-06:002012-11-05T08:11:37.046-06:00Oh, God, the whole novel-in-a-month thing makes my...Oh, God, the whole novel-in-a-month thing makes my eyeballs want to fall right out of my head.<br /><br />*boink, boink*<br /><br />XOXO<br /><br />A.Anna Leflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968276973881720329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-23193820025845349232012-11-04T21:45:58.129-06:002012-11-04T21:45:58.129-06:00I could never...1,000 words a week is about all I ...I could never...1,000 words a week is about all I got these days.

For me, it seems like the perfect exercise given my penchant for disappearing once I get busy or come up against writer's block or become gripped with a sudden case of on-line shyness. But, like you said, would anyone want to hear from me 30 days a week?! I am afraid of clogging up everyone's inboxes with my blog alerts. Anyway, I may instead just do a modified version of this -- either write in a personal journal 30 days or move up my blogging to once or even twice a week! ;-)<br /><br />I totally know what you are saying about the whole living inside your head thing too...it's very unsettling, especially when your child is screaming to be fed and you are like "huh? did you say something?" after his 5th attempt to get you to make dinner...Ceciliahttp://onlyoublog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-65309482547829310892012-11-03T11:18:55.105-05:002012-11-03T11:18:55.105-05:00I literally just burst out laughing at your last s...I literally just burst out laughing at your last sentence.

Mainly because not everyone is as fascinating as they think they are! And as to the novel, I toyed with the idea, only so I could finish my first novel, which is in pieces and on crutches. <br /><br />Now that I'm actually writing my first memoir, I can assure you that YES, your level of obsession becomes insane. I'd wake up at 3 am and think of ONE WORD, one word that absolutely positively had to go in Chapter 5 and replace another word. So I'd get up and pull up the files and TYPE IT IN. O N E W O R D. <br /><br />As the deadline looms, I've rewritten each chapter 4 million times until I hate it and can't look at it anymore. If I'd known I would one day get a book deal, I'd probably have done the 30 day novel challenge. But my ESP was down for repairs. <br /><br />Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980186321981090019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-82226279111566617662012-11-03T10:28:52.777-05:002012-11-03T10:28:52.777-05:00Thanks for clearing it up - I was in the dark over...Thanks for clearing it up - I was in the dark over those big and little letters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586581766383380976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-56324384318556986402012-11-03T10:18:15.427-05:002012-11-03T10:18:15.427-05:00I'm doing NaBloPoMo because I need to remember...I'm doing NaBloPoMo because I need to remember what it's like to post regularly.
