What I can't imagine doing is pumping out that quantity at the pace the NaNo-ers go at. <br /><br />I'll stick with slow and steady. The "slow" is guaranteed. It's the "steady" I need to work on :)Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-24988426480963752372012-10-08T02:28:25.568-07:002012-10-08T02:28:25.568-07:00Wow Ian that is so impressing, your muse must be d...Wow Ian that is so impressing, your muse must be doing a great job. 30k is a lot it's almost half of what you are planing ..I suppose...congrats and happy writing.unikornahttp://unikorna.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-75342502740201249142012-10-07T18:58:06.292-07:002012-10-07T18:58:06.292-07:00It sure isn't a "paltry sum" to me. ...It sure isn't a "paltry sum" to me.

I do envy those who can knock out thousands in one day, though.<br /><br />Danette, I can't imagine tackling NaNo. I'm a slow writer, and I'd have to take the month off work or something to find the time.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-3794882635589828512012-10-06T20:37:10.062-07:002012-10-06T20:37:10.062-07:00Congrats!

I don't even try to go at it like the NaNoer's- couldn't possibly come up with something that I would be proud of or even thing was worth working on.
