I'd spent the whole year revising and revising and revising and it was just fun to write something new. I will revise it eventually--it had good bones. The second year I wrote a paranormal which is mostly revised but pretty short. Last year I plotted a romantic suspense, but got an idea for a historical 4 days before Halloween. That book is under consideration at Harlequin. <br /><br />This year...maybe a straight contemporary.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-45102942010168475212009-09-30T23:52:28.419-05:002009-09-30T23:52:28.419-05:00I'l be Nanoing again for the third year.

I makeup my own rules depending on what I need to get done, and this year I'll be finishing a first draft of a half-finished book, not starting a new one. So technically I always fail because I don't follow the rules. Oh well. I probably won't throw the 50,000 words away.Delle Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551688823035092802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-66264545662981975362009-09-29T23:33:09.682-05:002009-09-29T23:33:09.682-05:00Thanks, MaryC!

So, off I go. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-57210376242136942402009-09-29T18:56:01.860-05:002009-09-29T18:56:01.860-05:00Hi Mary,

Since January, I've done a minimum of 100 words every day (except one day I completely forgot)so that makes 271 of 272 days and generally much more than 100/day.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-24931278530841802642009-09-29T16:51:25.443-05:002009-09-29T16:51:25.443-05:00Hi Mary!

That's great that NANO worked so well for you.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by today!Theresa Raganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815320170046221853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-63157072081764046642009-09-29T10:58:35.990-05:002009-09-29T10:58:35.990-05:00How cool that you've made it work for you, Mar...How cool that you've made it work for you, Mary! I also like that you use it as a springboard. I've thought about trying it, but the winter months are my busiest at work. Instead, I'm trying the 100-day club, 100 words a day for 100 days. So far, I've only managed to follow through sporadically, but maybe if I had a shorter time frame it would be more manageable. Thanks for the nudge. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-78762371951940177312009-09-29T06:57:01.734-05:002009-09-29T06:57:01.734-05:00Mary,

You've inspired me to give it a whirl, and finish my rough draft way ahead of schedule.Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.com
