I'm at that place where I hate my novel's smug little face... but deep down in there somewhere I still love it (kind of like that irritating family member?) I've passed the half-way point for my nano goal, and the novel is about 70-75% done. <br />Back to slogging...Kaye Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134006398950107252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289070225985289907.post-63271348013246133442012-06-15T00:28:11.426-04:002012-06-15T00:28:11.426-04:00Better late than never (from IWSG).

Heck, I've been known to write a scene during a slow night at work and email it home to myself! (don't tell my boss) :D Drive to up the word count is not a problem I have. Getting the time to do it is.<br /><br Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289070225985289907.post-44583466103658737172012-06-06T15:01:15.353-04:002012-06-06T15:01:15.353-04:00Great, great post.

You don't want to feel guilty about spending too much time on your work and don't want to be too burned out to give them some time and energy- but at the same time, can't lose momentum!

Isn't that the truth? haha<br /><br />Your points are so valid. Thanks for validating my occasional moments where I NEED to rest. It is tough working FT and wearing all of my different hats. A little break now and then or everyday if needed is ok. <br /><Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519655950073446857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289070225985289907.post-26341388426837983132012-06-06T10:37:22.570-04:002012-06-06T10:37:22.570-04:00Love these five tips!!!

Although I'm currently working under a self-imposed deadline, it's actually a fairly realistic one . . who knew I could create a deadline that makes sense with my crazy full life? But I did, so it works. <br />I think rules are for the revision stage, and even then, we have to decide what works for our story. Besides, who knows?
