NaNo Stats & Writing Advice from my dog
12/1/2008 4:15:16 PM


Hot off the presses from the NaNoWriMo Peeps:


- 119,401 Authors participated in NaNoWriMo 2008 (National Novel Writing Month)
- 21,683 verified winners
- 18% winning rate

Wow!

For all of my fellow winning buddies, CONGRATS! Here's advice about continuing to write, edit and polish your first draft better said than I could ever put it:

"You feel the call. That's the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open." -- Elizabeth Berg, Escaping into the Open

"Just don't pretend you know more about your characters than they do, because you don't. Stay open to them. It's teatime and all the dolls are at the table. Listen. It's that simple." -- Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird


"Keep chewing on that bone. It's the only way to finish." Abby the Wonder Dog
