NanoWrimo Excitement!
Has everyone stocked up on energy snacks and bottles of tap water in anticipation of NanoWrimo? I wonder how many of you have the outline done? I hope any who decides to try last months writing the novel in scenes , lets me know how it goes. I'd sure be interested.
 Don't forget to register for NanoWrimo! You'd be surprised what's forgotten in the throes of excitement.

Submitted Comment: I really liked your piece on sustainable writing.... So much that I'm going to go buy a nice new notebook today, jot down your tips and then work on my NaNoWriMo accordingly! Thanks! Leo
Good luck with your goal and let us know how you do!

I hope it convinces many to participate, acme--thanks!
Submitted By: NickiD89 
Submitted Comment: This newsletter is going into my NaNo Prep Folder! I don't want to be too prepared, but having a firm idea of the novel's key elements like themes and plot points (scenes) will spark and re-spark my muse as the competition days roll on. Thanks for the great novel writing organization tips!
Great--good luck, Nicki!

Submitted Comment: Thanks so much for the in-depth article about writing a novel one scene at a time. It's a very helpful way to approach climbing the mountain. Thanks!
If you use it in a story, I hope you let me know--I'd love to read it.

Submitted Comment: Makes me really think about my writing in a whole different way. I find myself checking out the back covers of those novels! Very informative!
Writing is hard enough and I believe in doing things as efficiently as possible, while not losing the creativity. Back covers, huh? There was a letter about blurbs not too long ago.
We always appreciate the feedback, thanks!
