I've been taking time off from writing for about a month, but now I want to get back into my next book, so these are a treasure trove of tips that I hope will jump start me. I don't do NaNo; it's too daunting. But reading about it on so many blogs is jogging me to get to work on something and stop dawdling. :-)Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-27440498144286069962016-11-01T19:50:20.710-04:002016-11-01T19:50:20.710-04:00Peggy, based on what I know about your writing, I&...Peggy, based on what I know about your writing, I'd say stick with that comfort zone, it's working! For me, I need a little kick to get me moving again. I've been doing lots of writing, just not on the WIP. So since April's A-Z challenge got me moving in poetry, so I hope the challenge of my version of NaNoWriMo will help me make progress on it. And then again, my sister-in-law is hosting Thanksgiving, so I should make use of that bonus of time, right? Thanks for coming by. I'll keep you posted about my progress :-)Kenda Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972218446945404475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-20644366292022073432016-11-01T08:19:57.444-04:002016-11-01T08:19:57.444-04:00Would love to do NaNoWriMo, but there's no way...Would love to do NaNoWriMo, but there's no way. November is near the end of my semester, and I'll have tons of grading to do. Then there's that little thing called Thanksgiving... And to be honest, I don't write like that. I've been urged to "give something new a try" to shake myself out of my comfort zone. But the one time I did that, I ended up with a writer's block that lasted for months. I love my comfort zone, and I'm sticking with it. :-)<br /><br />I have huge respect for "setting the scene." Last week I decided I needed to insert an extra chapter into the middle of my current WIP. I already know what I want my main character to do, so that won't take long to write. What's taking my time is the setting. It has to be right because that's the frame for her actions.<br /><br />Your post is right on!Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.com
