NaNo Preparation

Editing the manuscript

In the past few weeks I've had at least three people ask me if I plan to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. My answer to this is hell yeah! I have something to prove this year after failing to meet the 2011 goal. I am 100% positive if I had not come down with the dreaded plague, I would have finished my manuscript in time. And this year I do not have 6 lectures and a family trip planned so there are no barriers to winning 2012. Recently I unpacked my reviewed manuscript and have started reading the print version and making the necessary corrections. Editing the print version versus the electronic edition makes a world of difference. Though I will have to write something new for NaNoWriMo, my desire to write these types of stories has been renewed. 

So I say bring it on! I'm up for the challenge! Are you? Is anyone else up for a writing challenge? Do you want to prepare for NaNoWriMo or work on other writing? Then send me an email and I'll coordinate our fall writing group for October and promise to cheer everyone on. Goals can include research, outlines, word counts, editing, and family research objectives. 

And for those daring enough to participate in NaNoWriMo in November, not only will you have the pleasure of me as your writing cheerleader, but the enticement of DeBrands chocolate.
