This month of May me, my sister and some of my friends have decided to hold our own NaNoWriMo, but of course on our terms. 500 words, daily for a month. We all found that we were falling behind with our novels, and we were not getting any progress, so now as I type my sister is sighing pathetically as she tries to write another sentence.
I have found that setting myself a goal in writing has really helped, other wise I just tend to let it go by, and when I feel so deprived of scribbling I return and hurriedly write for awhile until my fingers are throbbing, then I go back to a week or two without writing. Have any of you done NaNoWriMo? How did you find that ‘pressure writing’ as I like to call it?
Feel free to join our mad, feather-brained scribbles. Good luck to Amy, P.B. (my dear 12 year old sis) and Mel, I wish you well for all your schemings!

That sounds like fun! Best wishes! I may join you all π
I like the Kindle PC more than the Nook PC (more free books! ^_^). It’s so cool that they have those though, because some books are really hard to find in print. I think I found Rose in Bloom from project Gutenberg. I was quite excited to find that all of Jane Austen’s books are available on Amazon for free! π
I know! The dresses were so elegantly simple and pretty.

Yes, Chy. I have downloaded so many books from Kindle in the last week that Mother has urgently cried for me to stop…. *grin*…. I have been using up a bit of internet by doing so! It is very exciting though to find it.

Hi Meggie!
It was fun to see a post on your blog about this little writing adventure that we’re doing π I’ve had a lot of fun with it these past two days, working on my novel, and I was actually surprised at how easy I found 500 words. I suppose that I’ll probably experience writer’s block along the way, but at the moment it’s going great. I hope that it is for you, also!
Okay, well I’m off to write you an e-mail π
*hugs*

Hi Amy!
Thanks for your email, I will hopefully write you one soon! Thats great that the 500 words seem to be good, I am off with the fairies though, and finding it hard to write! PB is doing well, she is getting rather excited about it and sat down and wrote 1,000 words this afternoon!
Good luck and I bid writers block stay away!
Blessings,
Meggie
