Ouch, losing those words must have been so painful.<br /><br />You don't sound as though you are bragging, just being realistic about your abilities. Good for you for putting in the hard work to get to that place.Jessica Thomashttp://www.jessicathomasink.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-32091445260242467692011-04-10T19:46:28.481-07:002011-04-10T19:46:28.481-07:00"Look, you CAN finish something.

I ended up cheating the first two times I tried. ;P<br /><br />Good luck with your continued progress!S.J.

I almost scrapped the whole file to start it over, but I didn't.<br />I was glad too. I just set the work aside and gave the story some more thought. I think I am almost ready to pick the story back up and start working on it again.<br />I do plan on doing the NaNo thing again this year. I know one of these days I will find the discipline to push my self to the end of the story as fast as I can write.<br />Hope your week is a good one.Linda Nelsonhttp://authorlindanelson.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-65164257404438755382011-04-10T15:42:38.622-07:002011-04-10T15:42:38.622-07:00Finishing something for the first time is the bigg...Finishing something for the first time is the biggest step imo. Knowing you can do it means so much. I love NaNo, it helped me write a little more freely. I don't think I could have gotten over that big a setback though!<br /><br />Well done on doing so well this week. :)Claire Farrellhttp://doingitwritenow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-7006914559063322192011-04-10T14:11:58.844-07:002011-04-10T14:11:58.844-07:00Hi Kate!

LOL Have a great week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512314707998638650noreply@blogger.com
