It's a browser game about war strategy. I swear it's making me more creative. The new US speed server should be starting after NaNo. We're in the final stages of the game now.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607802957626812670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768758004994506276.post-63012911929651511412011-10-01T00:08:57.950-07:002011-10-01T00:08:57.950-07:00Ack!

I was just wondering today about how much research I had left and whether some of it I could do during actual NANO, or whether I should get it all done and out of the way. The only novel I've written was for the 3 day contest, and literally every hour was planned out to the minute, so there wasn't any time for outside reading or even research. <br /><br />Anyway, I think I should go Google "Travian." In case I, you know, need something to do during NANO.<br /><br />Jk.Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533424312167293180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768758004994506276.post-20986675037388856532011-09-28T21:06:03.549-07:002011-09-28T21:06:03.549-07:00No reading???

More time for snacks, yes?<br /><br />This will be my eighth NaNo. A first draft is really my only goal, and I define success not by whether I hit the 50k (which is a good thing, since thus far I'm only 4 for 7), but whether I go on to turn the pile of NaNoCrap into an actual book, which I then go on to not sell. Chris Baty would never forgive me for saying so, but for me planning has been THE key to that.Teacakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908609825514112462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768758004994506276.post-75143351818452887192011-09-20T16:54:21.064-07:002011-09-20T16:54:21.064-07:00Hi, thanks for my blog comment.

I took those words and turned them into another story that I'm in critque group/rewrite group now. I may have my first novel when it's all said and done.<br /><br />Good luckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
